Title: Articles: iPods for English Language Learners
Body: From http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/09/education/09ipod.html?_r=2&oref=slogin&oref=slogin In Some Schools, iPods Are Required Listening By WINNIE HU October 9, 2007 José Martí Middle School in Hudson County, NJ, has been handing out the portable digital players to help bilingual students with limited English ability sharpen their vocabulary and grammar by singing along to popular songs. Next month, the Union City district will give out 300 iPods at its schools as part of a $130,000 experiment in one of New Jersey’s poorest urban school systems. The effort has spurred a handful of other districts in the state, including the ones in Perth Amboy and South Brunswick, to start their own iPod programs in the last year, and the project has drawn the attention of educators from Westchester County to Monrovia, Calif.
