From my 20% project that I completed, I learned the difficulties of learning English as a second language, what activities are needed, and how to provide Spanish speakers with the tools to learn English.
Learning English is difficult for many Spanish speakers for a variety of reasons. Some of these reasons include not having money for English classes, not having classes in the area, not being able to attend them, and not having resources to learn English. For this reason, I realized that having a free website with free resources to learn English would be a good idea. The site can be accessed through any computer or device that can access the internet.
The activities that are helpful for Spanish students are activities that focus on pronunciation and grammar, as many Spanish speakers in the US already know some vocabulary. Repetition is also important. Although I included all types of activities in the website, I realized that listening activities that ask for repetition are very helpful. I found many resources that I linked to with these types of activities.
To provide these resources to Spanish speakers, I created a website with resources and organized them into sections to help students take it at their own pace. The sections are beginner, intermediate, and advanced. There is also sections for grammar and vocabulary. I included descriptions for most activities and even homework to do that can be submitted to me if they wish.
I believe my final product is a good way for students to learn, especially when updated regularly.
At first, I was going to create videos but I realized that these videos would not be helpful unless there were activities to go along with it. This would be too much of an overload, so I decided to pool resources and categorize them instead. I realized this would be more helpful as I can include lessons, activities, homework, and games.
