As a teacher with a master's degree in Spanish language and culture, and a bachelor's degree in philology and languages, I have extensive knowledge and experience in the Spanish language and its diverse cultural nuances. My studies have allowed me to gain a deep understanding of the Spanish language, its grammar, and its historical context. Additionally, I have lived in Spanish-speaking countries and have immersed myself in their cultures, allowing me to gain a first-hand perspective on the traditions, customs, and values of these communities.
My thesis and research on "El uso del Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial en la clase de ELE" (The Use of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Spanish as a Second Language Classroom) serves as a testament to my in-depth knowledge of Spanish culture and my ability for integrating cultural concepts into language acquisition.
I have investigated how several cultural aspects—like holidays, customs, and historical factors—relate to language learning through my research. I can teach a thorough and interesting reading and writing course for heritage speakers thanks to my knowledge of the Spanish language and culture. This way, I can ensure that students learn the language while also getting a better understanding of their cultural origins. I am sure that my education and expertise will enable me to give every student an interesting and culturally rich learning experience.Reviews
