Teacher Notes:

Students can see side-by-side translation without context switching
Providing a more inclusive environment: Students can collaborate with other students who are multilingual learners. (Students are able to translate content for group activities)
Students can listen to the text being read aloud to them in their native language through the read aloud feature

Collaboration:
Since Slides Translator is an extension on Google Slides, students can still collaborate and work on the same presentation as a group.
Communication:
Having the option for using voice or typing to document ideas makes it easier for ELL students to communicate their thoughts.
Critical thinking:
Showing students a text in English and another language side by side (or having students do this independently) can lead students to look for cognates, analyze text structure and alphabets.
VARK (For Students)
