スペイン語でABC1つ！#アカデミック

Novice level class (no Spanish needed)
This fun and engaging class will teach useful vocabulary to get your child conversing in Spanish that follows the ABCs, using simple questions to promote conversation and understanding.  Learning is focused on speaking accompanied with visual cues, imagery, and repetition.  This is a 10-week class and follows the ebook (ABC’s 140 Sight Words in English / Spanish by Diana Di Tolla, 25 pages of pictures/text/audio.  Purchase the ebook on iTunes.)   We start at the letter A, spend the week learning vocabulary for the letters A & B, and each week add to our collection with a new letter all the way until the letter G.  Using words in English and Spanish for each letter, we cover most of the alphabet in this novice class.  Abcs in Spanish! 2 covers Letters H-P, and Abcs in Spanish! 3 covers Letters Q-Z.  Review of previous vocabulary is included as well as a final project and presentations in the final week of class.  Abcs in Spanish! 4 (verbs) includes many ways to talk about yourself and your likes/dislikes.

Each class will introduce vocabulary from the ebook and we will practice: pronouncing (how to produce the sounds) and create a sentence in context.  Also, at the beginning of class we will be to review previously learned vocabulary, sing songs associated with the letters, then on to new vocabulary.

Conversation is guided by the teacher and students will be prompted to volunteer for practice using simple commands and props. Students will speak throughout the class, gaining confidence as they practice. My students find they understand more than they can explain because of the visual cues and repetition that I use as the instructor.  Students learn from each other, retaining the vocabulary, which enables them to create simple sentences.  Es azul.  Es estrella.  Es una estrella azul.

Getting students to use Spanish and be independent is what I do best.  Class size maximum is 5 students per class to ensure lots of personal attention.  Let's have fun while we learn this new and amazing language!
