Microsoft Translator allows educators to break down any language barrier that stands in front of them. It is ok not to be bilingual as a teacher because learning multiple languages is not an easy task and there are many languages out there that you cannot learn all quickly. Luckily there is a tool called “Microsoft Translator,” which allows teachers to have better communication with the students and parents of their different languages. The ability for a student to feel comfortable and be able to perform well in class is very important and Microsoft Translator gives this student a chance because the teacher can understand he/she.
What and how does the Microsoft Translator work? The tool has a whole group of services that teachers everywhere can use. The translator can be used strictly in English as a captioning or transcription tool. It can even add captions to meetings or even create a transcript for a classroom conversation. Professionals use this tool as much as educators for example they use it as a back-channel chatroom. People join the conversation, post in their language, and see the responses in the chat as their language as well. This tool is simple and easy to use, here is the link for it to give it a try for yourself: https://translator.microsoft.com. This tool changes the dynamic of language barriers all over the world.
As a future teacher, I will keep this tool in my back pocket if my class is diverse and if a teacher needs help with a diverse classroom. To be able to communicate with students or their parents effectively is important to the education and growth as a student and person. It would be my job as a teacher to use this tool to the best of my ability so that students and parents can feel comfortable and confident being in my classroom or in my school.
