Spanish Teaching
Spanish teaching provides an opportunity to learn new ways of delivering instruction and new ways of communicating with students.
Better yet, Spanish teaching provides a setting where students are free to translate their native language ideas into Spanish. Spanish teachers can learn a lot about the lives of their students.
Spanish teachers should target students' learning styles. This enhances open communication because both teacher and student rise to their strengths and established communication habits.
Spanish teaching allows experimenting with facilitation roles instead of "expert knowledge delivery" roles. This role adjustment for teachers allows teachers to discover how self-directed and learning oriented…and how frustrated that Spanish language students are with the normal, one-way knowledge transfer of the regular school year.
Spanish teachers can experiment, test and fine tune instructional delivery strategies and techniques, and obtain useable and actionable student feedback. Student feedback allows Spanish teachers to discover what they need to implement to better serve students' learning needs.
