I am hoping to receive a class set of 10 headphones with microphones for my high school Spanish 1 and 2 students. Through Canvas assignments and Duolingo, these kids will be able to engage with each other and absorb Spanish in a meaningful way. It can be difficult for students to use a foreign language for fear of making mistakes. I have found that students are more willing to record themselves using and practicing Spanish first than using it in front of a live audience (myself or other classmates). Since I teach at a Title 1 school, these students do not typically have the funds for their own headphones or even some school supplies. Spanish is a vital skill for these students as it can help them obtain jobs once they graduate, and also opens their eyes to the culture and people in their community.
