1-2 hours per week. There will be optional activities and written work that students can complete during the weeks of the course to get more practice of the material.Assessment
There is no formal assessment for this course. I will, however, be checking each student's progress in Nearpod to track how they are doing and will be giving feedback along the way to help each student do their best.Class Experience
I believe that language learning should be exciting and fun! Confidence in the process always makes for a better experience and helps a student achieve fluency and to master grammar concepts faster! The goal of this course is to give your student a head start before they enter a more formal Beginner level Spanish 1 course. The self-paced style of this course allow your student the flexibility to complete it according to their schedule. This course is for the brand new Spanish student preparing to enter Spanish 1 in the fall! Over these 6 weeks students will be introduced to some of the primary and most important concepts learned in Spanish 1. Through video lessons and enrichment activities students will learn, practice and gain confidence in these concepts. The course is divided into 6 cycles. These cycles include 2 vocabulary list, 2 video lessons and written practice. Each cycle focuses on one of the 6 main concepts of Spanish 1. The video lessons are designed to make the student feel comfortable and to feel as if they are learning one on one with me. They consist of grammar instruction, interactive written practice as well as lots of verbal practice. We use Nearpod during the videos for some interactive practice. As an added bonus, though the course is self-paced and students learn according to their schedule, they are not on their own! I will be checking on the students and their work in Nearpod, responding to them in our assignments tab as they complete the review activities and sending message with feedback. I am also always available through private message if a student has any questions. Each week consists of the video lesson which teaches grammar and offers a variety of verbal practice. Students will also have papers to print and use during their video lessons. Then there will be suggested out-of-class review / practice activities. Over the 6 week time period students will be introduced to the following concepts: Week 1 Being Understood! Pronunciation + sounds of key letters in the Spanish alphabet Week 2 Our homes -- definite articles, plurality and gender of nouns - The verb "tener" and the verb "haber". Week 3 Making Descriptions: Ser + adjectives / Subject Pronouns Week 4 How do you feel and Where is it? : Estar + emotions / Estar + prepositions Week 5 What do you do? AR verbs Week 6 Like it or not! The verb “gustar” + food This course is not a replacement to Spanish 1. It is meant to give an introduction to and also build confidence with some of the key concepts students will encounter in their upcoming Spanish 1 course. My goal is to give them an introduction to some grammar and vocabulary so that they are more confident to use it going forward!
Learning Goals
Students will be introduced to important grammar and vocabulary to give them a confident start to Spanish 1.
Syllabus
12 Lessons
over 6 WeeksLesson 1:
Pronunciation
We start our Spanish learning with pronunciation. It is important to start early to learn the correct sounds of the letters and work on reading and pronouncing Spanish correctly.
Lesson 2:
Pronunciation and Reading Fluidly
Students put their knowledge of the letter sounds and rules of emphasis into practice as they work on reading and speaking Spanish.
Lesson 3:
Numbers and Dates
Students learn numbers 1-20 as they work on saying what the date is. Students are introduced to nouns in Spanish and gender and plurality.
Lesson 4:
How many are there?
Using numbers and nouns and the verbs "haber" and "tener" students practice discuss their homes by saying what there is, what they have and how many.

Parental Guidance
External website usage: In this course students will use Nearpod activities as part of their participation and review. This external site allows students to engage in a variety of learning activities in order to practice and reinforce what they are learning. I am then able to check this work in order to give appropriate feedback as they progress through the course.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am an experienced language teacher with over 15 years of experience teaching Spanish as well as 5 years experience teaching English as a second language in the virtual classroom. I have been teaching my own personal Spanish curriculum for levels 1 and 2 on Outschool. Prior to virtual teaching I taught high school and middle school Spanish in the classroom. I studied the Spanish language in the U.S.A at Temple University and in Spain at Universidad Complutense in Madrid. After living in Spain I have spent multiple summers in Spanish-speaking countries teaching English and continuing to study Spanish. I love the language and I always enjoy helping students love it too!
