Spanish classes highlights
I view learning as a constructive process where students actively build and adapt knowledge through meaningful engagement and use. In my Spanish classes, I balance professionalism and approachability, creating a supportive environment that fosters participation, confidence, and trust when taking risks. My methodology blends role-play, task-based learning, and cultural immersion through songs, short stories, games, and discussions, allowing students to connect lessons to authentic, real-life contexts. I treat mistakes as valuable opportunities to clarify concepts and expand understanding. This approach consistently strengthens speaking, writing, reading, and listening skills while motivating learners to produce personal, meaningful work and develop a deeper connection with the Spanish language and its diverse cultures.
