Welcome/ Bienvenidos

These beginner's Spanish classes aim to immerse students in the Spanish language and culture while introducing them to new vocabulary terms and grammar. Along with expanding their vocabulary and understanding of the target language, students will improve their speaking, listening, reading, and writing abilities. As a foreign language teacher, my main objective is to develop engaging thematic units that demonstrate connections between themes in a relevant way and integrate topics from many theme groups to support the designing of learning activities.

Estas clases de español para principiantes tienen como objetivo sumergir a los estudiantes en el idioma y la cultura española, al mismo tiempo introducir nuevos términos de vocabulario y gramática. Junto con expandir su vocabulario y comprensión del idioma español, los estudiantes mejorarán sus habilidades de hablar, escuchar, leer y escribir. Como profesora de lengua extranjera, mi objetivo principal es desarrollar unidades temáticas atractivas que demuestren conexiones entre los temas de manera relevante e integren tópicos de muchos grupos temáticos para apoyar el diseño de actividades de aprendizaje.
