🌟What is it like to take a class with Iguana Learn?
Welcome to a happy place! Our teaching style is dynamic and easy to follow. Our aim is to provide ALL students ample opportunity to speak and repeat Spanish terms. The class will be visually appealing and engaging. Our goal is to CONNECT with your child and build up his or her confidence.

🌟How will the class be taught?
The class will be taught using body language to illustrate vocabulary. We like to model the language for children and make slight corrections using positive reinforcements. Your child will be presented the opportunity to join the conversation through various prompts. Learners will practice their language skills with other learners and engage in Community learning. 

🌟My Teaching Philosophy:
We use the Comprehensible Input approach to teach this Spanish Immersion class. Comprehensible input is language input that can be understood by listeners despite them not understanding all the words and structures in it. According to Krashen's theory of language acquisition, giving learners this kind of input helps them acquire language naturally, rather than learn it consciously.

Get ready for an incredible week of language and cultural immersion! Each day, your child will embark on a thrilling adventure and learn about Mexico with an experienced History teacher.🎉🌍✨

All this will be done in a safe environment, where Spanish learning is fun and facilitated with Love💗
