💫 Spanish for Beginners Introduction Class has Part A and Part B 💫

Welcome to my Spanish class for Beginners,  My program is designed to provide your student with a solid foundation in the Spanish language and help them achieve fluency.
I use a conversational approach to language learning, which means that my students are encouraged to use the language in context from the very beginning of the course. This approach has been proven to be effective in helping students develop their language skills quickly and naturally.

In a beginner's conversational Spanish class, the main focus is on helping students acquire the basic skills to communicate in Spanish in everyday situations. The goal is for students to begin speaking Spanish from the very first day of class, using simple words and phrases to express their ideas.

I use different techniques to encourage participation and conversation, such as simple question-and-answer sessions, vocabulary games, listening and responding exercises, and role-playing activities. Grammar and vocabulary are presented in a contextualized way, so that students can understand how words and grammatical structures are used in real-life situations.

During the class, we practice lots of pronunciation and intonation, so that students can begin to speak with fluency and confidence. Students are also encouraged to ask questions and clarify doubts, in English so that they can better understand the language.

In this 4 week class, students will learn the basics of the Spanish language with interactive activities and games that will give the students the confidence to begin any Spanish program. We will practice the pronunciation as a group and then I will ask students to repeat the words giving each student individual attention and meeting their level. It will be a bilingual class Spanish/ English, with lots of Spanish emphasis.
Each week there will be a review of the previous vocabulary, an introduction of new vocabulary, and a grammar structure.
The activities and games will also cover previous classes to keep practicing. After each class, students will get a PDF with the vocabulary, audio with the pronunciation, and an exercise to help practice the writing in Spanish. Students can complete the work and upload a picture through the classroom or through their messaging system and I will make corrections and offer feedback.
If a student can not attend a class, the audio and the PDF with vocabulary will provide all the tools to practice the concepts and the pronunciation taught during each class. ( I can also offer other alternatives when I am contacted in advanced)

Since it is a Beginners class, students will be encourage to practice the pronunciation and create sentences using the vocabulary they know, that will help them gain confidence as they will begin to think and speak in Spanish rather than translating.
The routine of the class will be as follow:
1. Greetings
2. Review of vocabulary
3. Introduction of new vocabulary and repetition
4. Introduction of the grammar structure
5. Students practice

**During the last 5 to 10 minutes of class, students will review the vocabulary using interactive games from a website called
"Blooket". Students Do Not need to create a Blooket account. Students need Parental Permission to access Blooket.com/play and use a Game ID that I will provide, or to use the link that I will provide in the chat. Only the students that are present in class that day will be allowed to play. 

***All material will be presented via Canva and screen shared by the teacher. The PDFs will also be screen shared by the teacher so they can be completed as an oral and written exercise.

*****CLASS RECORDING POLICY : I do not share recordings of my group classes in order to protect the privacy of all learners 
(many parents do not feel comfortable with other families having access to videos that include their child). However, you are welcome to watch and help your child, OFF SCREEN, to comply with Outschool Policy, so that you can also have access to the content. Along with the PDFs, there is an audio with the pronunciation that will help students practice anytime they need.
