can be truly effective. Teachers tell me how

prompts. Students find a partner, ask and answer the question on
their index card, switch cards, and find a new partner. Students

A healthy Spanish student diet must consist of activities to build of Latin America

their listening, reading, writing, and speaking skills with a dash of
culture as well (I like to think of culture as the Adobo)!

The easiest way to make sure that you are including enough of
each is to dedicate different days to different skills, beginning with
the interpretive skills of reading and listening, and building up to
the presentational and interpersonal skills of speaking and writing.

My New Idea : Vo c a b u l a r y
Flip-flaps
and Booklets
This year Im taking a big step: Im leaving the textbook
behind and working towards a proficiency-based,
comprehensible input-driven classroom. We will be using
interactive notebooks to tie everything together and keep
us organized. While Ive used ISNs before, they were only a
supplement to the textbook. This year well fill our notebooks
with everything from bell-ringers, authentic resources and
stories, to Can-Do statements and vocabulary. Last year, I
learned a lot about what not to do; this year ISNs are firmly in
my toolbox for a successful year in Spanish!

My new idea
Getting Language Learners to Use Target Language

Language classrooms need to be buzzing with students actively

speaking the target language in pairs and small groups. While
students use the language in interactive classroom activities,
teachers should monitor students, and model level-appropriate
language and strategies to talk around vocab they dont know
yet (without translating). We can increase communicative
competence by giving lots of opportunities for speaking in small
groups, that use grammar and vocab at the students levels.
Make a point to have daily, guided conversations in your class to
increase use of the target language in your classrooms!

This Student Profile Sheet in Spanish is
an excellent resource for the first week of
school! Students respond to the prompts,
filling in information about themselves
which teachers can then refer to throughout
the year. I love to use it in pairs, so students
can interview each other for additional
conversation practice. It is also part of our
larger, Spanish Beginning of the Year Packet.
