This class is for those who HAVE NOT been at a Spanish immersion school for 2+ years, nor had dual language for a year. No experience necessary. If your child knows some words and understands some phrases, this is a good level. If your child knows nothing, this is a good level. All beginners. We use The Bellieu Method for fluency, our trademarked method for acquiring a second language, which upholds speaking, relevant material that is useful for everyday life, topics based on the kids attending the class, and letting the student be the focus of the class for ultimate engagement. This is considered A1 - A2 beginner/upper beginner Spanish. Conversation level will be adjusted depending on level of each student or the group as a whole. Conversation will also be geared towards the interests of the students in this small class. In every TruFluency Kids Spanish Immersion class, we have 2-3 themes that we touch on (for example traveling, animals, your specific interests). During the discussion of these themes, we will focus on being able to express ourselves in Spanish in regards to this theme. We will always encourage speaking, while also increasing listening comprehension, reading and writing in Spanish. Activities in class include, but not limited to: learning songs, singing, ear training to hear Spanish clearly and pronounce it correctly. Every class includes an activity such as reading a story, playing a word game, creating a song game with out voices in Spanish, or even a computer game to keep the environment immersive. While the focus is always on speaking, since that is how children learn language first (and most successfully), we also incorporate writing and quick spelling exercises. Singing is incorporated into every class.
Learning Goals
2nd language acquisition is about listening, listening, listening. So our goals will be to listen, truly hear the sounds of Spanish, begin having a 'Spanish mouth', read, sing, and learn many vocabulary words, answer questions and learn to understand spoken Spanish.
