여름 스페인어 3학기 1 몰입 코스(중/고등학교)

In this FIVE-week interactive, semester-long Spanish course, we will meet as a group THREE times per week for 45 minutes to learn Spanish. In the class students will develop the ability to understand and communicate in Spanish while playing games and having a ton of fun through reading short stories and class novels. Here is what you can expect throughout the course.

Hola! Welcome to my Spanish  course. This course will be great for students that have had TWO years of exposure to Spanish. Students will be able to read, write, speak, and listen in Spanish at an intermediate level after completing this course. I also offer 1:1 private tutoring if they need extra live help. I also offer a full curriculum for Spanish 2 and 3 if you wish to continue down the path of learning Spanish.

I use Google Slides to teach this unit.  I teach with a focus on Comprehensible Input and not grammar since that is not how language is naturally acquired.  Comprehensible input Spanish readers are a game changer in the classroom. Leveled readers in Spanish tell captivating stories and incorporate repetition of high-frequency language making them an extremely effective way to engage students.  We will read a novel entirely in Spanish, have discussions in Spanish and play games/activities to expose students to the target language. Some fun traditional games that we will play are Tic-Tac-Toe, Connect 4, Sorry, Snakes and Ladders and Pictionary. The focus will be on developing skills in the areas of listening, speaking and reading.  

There are TWO class novels for this class.  They are called Bianca Nieves Y Los Siete Toritos and La Llorona de Mazatlan. They are perfect novels to continue building fluency in Spanish because they are filled with common repetitive phrases, structures and vocabulary words to help students acquire the language. 

Bianca Nieves Y Los Siete Toritos  Book Description- Spanish easy reader for advanced learners. Bianca's father is bull fighter, but the real danger lies outside the arena. Will Bianca be able to save her dad?

La Llorona de Mazatlan Book Description- Laney Morales’ dream of playing soccer in Mazatlan, Mexico soon turns into a nightmare, as she discovers that the spine-chilling legends of old may actually be modern mysteries. Friendless and frightened, Laney must endure the eerie cries in the night alone. Why does no one else seem to hear or see the weeping woman in the long white dress? Laney must stop the dreadful visits, even if it means confessing her poor choices and coming face to face with La Llorona de Mazatlán. The low unique word count and high frequency factor (the number of times core structures are embedded in the text) in the Comprehension-based™ reader, ‘La Llorona de Mazatlán’, make this an ideal read for advanced beginning Spanish students. Each page is loaded with cognates (words that are similar in English and Spanish), recycled vocabulary, and illustrations, which makes this read highly comprehensible. Enjoy the story! The more you enjoy it, the more you will acquire Spanish without even realizing it! We hope you enjoy reading your way to FLUENCY
