Intro to Spanish (20 Classes)

Lesson structure :
Although it is not a live class, the lesson will be available on Mondays, with assignments due on Sundays.
I will make sure there is asynchronous engagement with learners.

1) PRE-RECORDED LESSON: the lesson of the week will be available on Monday. It will be posting a recording in the Outschool presenting the vocabulary in Spanish, making sure to do the paused pronunciation for the students to repeat while watching the recording. 
I will also present options for questions and answers using the week's vocabulary. Three types of questions: yes and no, choice, and short answer.

2) ASSIGNMENTS AND DEADLINES:
The assignments will be three: 
-A link to practice the vocabulary from the lesson. 
-Post a video reciting the vocabulary from the lesson.
-A written assignment using the vocabulary in context and post and video reading that assignment. 

The due date will be the Sunday before the following week's lesson.

3) ADDITIONAL TEACHING MATERIAL:
Additional didactic material will be provided in the classroom for extra practice.

Students will receive prompt and personalized feedback. If necessary, I will assign them additional homework to work on their language weaknesses.
