Are you looking for ways to translate the student lessons for your English Language Learners and ESL students? Google Translate is a great way to make accommodations for students who will learn better by reviewing content in another language.

In this article, you’ll learn how to use Google Translate to help your students learn from the AES system in their preferred language.

To accommodate the needs of ELLs, you can download the eLearning lesson transcripts and translate them into your students' preferred language

Note: Lesson transcripts only contain the transcribed narration of the lessons and do not include any of the supporting text your students see within the lessons.

To download and translate the lesson transcripts for your students, follow 7 steps:

Sign in as a teacher at learn.aeseducation.com

On your My Classes tab, select your class and navigate to the Assignments tab.

Open the module assigned to your students and locate the transcript within the Teacher Resources of the Learn & Practice phase.

Open a second tab in your web browser and type https://translate.google.com/ to open Google Translate

In the right-side box of Google Translate, select your student’s preferred language. You can use the arrow dropdown to see a full list of available languages.

Return to the lesson transcript and copy the content you want to translate. Then paste it into the left-side box of Google Translate. You may find this easier to do with your browser tabs configured in a side-by-side view:

Note: Google Translate has a character limit, so you may need to copy and paste sections of the transcript instead of the full document at one time.

Copy and paste the translated content into a Word document or Google Doc to share with your ELL students.

Your student can now use that translated supplement as a reference while working through the eLearning lesson!
