“In some schools, iPods are required listening”: "For most Spanish-speaking students attending José Martí Middle School, it takes four to six years to achieve sufficient English-language skills to move out of bilingual classes. In contrast, most students in Grace Poli’s classes make the leap in just a single year. That’s after media specialist Poli introduced an innovative education tool: the iPod. ‘The school here in Hudson County,’ writes Winnie Hu (New York Times), ‘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.’"
