Students love learning Spanish because it's fun, fresh, and challenging! It doesn't feel like "school" because Spanish is an elective that they genuinely want to learn. However, on a limited budget and with no prior Spanish teaching experience, I'm struggling to find materials and activities that form a consistent curriculum. The students themselves have handwritten Spanish notebooks where they write vocabulary and take notes, but these are no substitute for high-quality teaching materials like these workbooks.
These Spanish workbooks will allow students to have an easily-organized "external memory" where they will learn sentence structures, verb conjugations, adjective-noun agreement, and of course plenty of thematic vocabulary. The flashcards and "Bingo" game will be used at a "game station" where our City Year corps member will help our students build confidence, fluency, and pronunciation skills. And the audio supplement will help our students remember unfamiliar words and phrases by tapping into their multiple intelligences. Research demonstrates that rhythm and rhyme help us learn all kinds of information, especially languages.
