30 live meetings
20 in-class hours
Homework
1 hour per week. Optional homework will be posted in the classroom. Teacher shares links with assignments with interactive activities that students complete on any device and internet connection.
Assessment
Oral assignments - Feedback provided Vocabulary assignment (Game Quizz) At the end of each class, there's a game suitable for their age using one of the platforms authorized by Outschool. Students simply click on a provided link in the chat to join, without the need to create an account, ensuring a safe experience. Additionally, after each class, I post instructions for assignments to be completed at home. These assignments include two activities: a game quiz consisting of 10 to 12 questions to practice the vocabulary from the class and posting an audio or video in the classroom or privately to practice their oral skills. While these assignments are optional, they are highly recommended to accelerate the Spanish learning process and build confidence in speaking the new language. I provide feedback on these assignments.

As this is an ongoing course, the content of these classes should be accessible to new learners who join in any given week. Students will have the experience of learning the unit vocabulary.

As learning a second language requires continuity, at the end of the course, the student can take Spanish Level 2.

Class structure: 
a)  Opening: an activity such as a song, tongue-twister, role-playing, or dictate.
b) Presentation: teacher presents the vocabulary in PowerPoint, and learners take notes and do individual and choral repetitions.
c) Practice and performance: the teacher gives an example sentence using the lesson's language structure and prompts the students to practice the answer and the question form of the target language.
e) Closing activity by playing customizing vocabulary games with interactive materials such as quizzes, matchups, and word games. 
 
As learning a second language requires continuity, at the end of the course, students are welcome to take Spanish Level 2.

Required experience or knowledge learners need:
a) Reading skills. 
b) Test Zoom: turn off / turn on the microphone and video

Learning Goals
