Students do not need any experience or knowledge prior to this class. My teaching style for this course will be teaching basic phrases and vocabulary through images and gestures/ motions. Then students will get a chance to speak and respond to questions in Spanish so we can build friendships in the class through the language learned. Students will learn through repetition and connecting with me and other students. There will be slides and flashcards to show the images of different vocabulary words. We will begin each class with an icebreaker, the first classes starting in English and then slowly transitioning to starting each class with icebreakers in Spanish (with help and translation when needed) Next the new material will be taught by me speaking and the students repeating. Then I will give each student a chance to put the new material in to practice by asking me or another student a question in Spanish and giving them a chance to respond. Every other week there will be a short lecture about Hispanic culture and/or a motivational session about why the students are learning Spanish. Here is a breakdown/ summary of each week of this class. Students can drop in whenever in the class as the topics do not need to build off of each other. Week one 6/5: Introductory phrases- Hello, goodbye, What is your name, My name is, How are you? I am good, I like, food vocabulary Week two 6/12: Practice responding questions from previous week, I have, Do you have? Animal vocabulary Week three 6/19: I want, Do you want?
