Spanish-English Bilingual Podcasts
This series was created by students in the graduate bilingual concentration in PSU’s Speech and Hearing Science Department, completed under the direction of Dr. Christina Gildersleeve-Neumann. They provide training and practice opportunities in Spanish, field-specific vocabulary for bilingual SLPs. In a sense, these podcasts are like modules aimed at expanding the listener’s knowledge of many topics.
Each podcast includes relevant vocabulary, a clinical scenario incorporating best practices and the new vocabulary, and sentences for practice saying and repeating this vocabulary. There is a handout with vocabulary and practice sentences for each topic.
