by Ann

I'm looking for a fun song to start class daily, that HS kids would like, but is not "romantic". I would appreciate any suggestions!

Spanish books

by Ann

Mar 31, 2017

I'm hoping that some of you might have some (non-textbook) book recommendations for me. Our librarian will be ordering books, resource or otherwise, for the library and specifically asked what I would like. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

¡Muchas gracias!

mswa Could you get any books from FluencyMatters.com (formerly TPRStorytelling)?

Native Speakers course: Profanity and albures

by Daniel Hanson

Apr 7, 2017

Hello, everyone.

I hope you are doing well. I found out last week that I will be teaching Spanish for Native Speakers Level 2 next school year (probably Spring term). I have taught the Native Speakers class before, but it has been at least 10 years. I am looking forward to the opportunity of using only Spanish with these students as well ...See More

Granjero Hi Daniel!

I am insanely jealous that your school allows you to have classes geared toward native speakers - I wish it were so here at ours, but we have native and heritage speakers shoved into upper level "Spanish for Gringos" classes... It's frustrating!

Por vs Para

by Ann

Mar 9, 2017

I'm having a hard time explaining why 'por' is correct in the following sentence:

Hay mucho trabajo por hacer.

The closest reason I can come up with is "in exchange of/for", but even that sounds a little off. Can someone please help?

Gracias de antemano,

Ann

reflexives

Do you need "el pelo" when using peinarse? For example: Me peino el pelo or does Me peino mean I comb my hair?

Daniel Hanson No, you do not need "el pelo" with "peinarse". The reflexive meaning includes the context of one's own hair. So, the mention of "el pelo" or "el cabello" is very redundant.

My students are going to be creating a song to explain how to conjugate verbs in the future tense. I am not sure of how best to create a rubric for this.

Recomend any listening lab?

by Seeeeñor

Mar 22, 2017

Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone knows of any listening labs for middle school Spanish. Mostly Spanish one stuff. I am going with a group of 8th graders to Nicaragua and would love for them to be exposed to more listening activities before we go.

Thanks all,

Señor

Ann How about "Bablingua" or University of Texas site:

To anyone using Así se dice, what is the difference between the Student Learning Center and the Student Suite?

I want to know too! We're looking for a new text. Does anyone use this? Do you like it? Why or why not?
