Section 16 is a reference aid for the teacher How far should you aim to conduct your first Spanish lessons in Spanish? The teachers we have worked with found it works to do this gradually. When setting up activities in Spanish, they introduce just one or two new phrases in each session. They carefully monitor all children's understanding of what they say, and avoid bombarding their class with too many unfamiliar phrases all at once. They find that children gain confidence once they know the teacher does not mind repeating instructions in their own language when they look a bit puzzled. With young beginners, the teachers prefer to use the children's own language when talk about how language works, and when discussing culture and everyday life. The video gives you some helpful starting points: you see the contexts in which simple, authentic language is used by some Spanish teachers with their classes in a Spanish primary school in Calahorra. |
