Creative ways to keep kids speaking in Spanish

by Sra. C

Nov 2, 2015

I am looking for ideas about keeping kids in the target language. I have been teaching 12 years and I have a lot of old ideas that I am tiring of so I am looking for some new ideas. Please share if you have something that works for you!

Mil gracias!

Daysi Did you check vokiclassroom.com for ideas. I can help you with that. Also, I use Bingo para hablar, if you want I will send you a copy as a sample. I make small calendar card with the days of the week for every month,and the students have to talk to me in Spanish (greeting or short phrases no allowed),in order to get points. I told them if they hav...See More

Hola! I see people on this site talk about Google Voice and how they are incorporating it into their classes for speaking assignments, etc. I love the idea and started to look into it. But it's not 100&37; clear to me how this is going to work! The little tutorial videos just seem to lead me to more questions and maybe I'm over thinking this! A...See More

Suleima I had the same questions. I made a google account specifically for this. Then I linked my phone number to an assigned number. (there were not any numbers available for my zip code. After, I downloaded the app on my phone (FREE!). I selected the option for it not to ring or bother me. I recorded a prompt. Basically, I said say your name and period n...See More

IS THERE A WEBSITE THE STUDENTS CAN TRANSLATE A DOCUMENT FROM ENGLISH TO SPANISH OR SPANISH TO ENGLISH? SOMEONE IN MY SCHOOLS WOULD LIKE TO KNOW.

google translate

Oct 21, 2015

Allison I've found that Google translate does a horrible job. But I do not know of another site. Wordreference.com is the best translator I have seen but you would have to do it word by word.

Verbs w/diff. meanings in preterite

by Allison

Oct 12, 2015

I'm teaching irreg. verbs in the preterite right now and I know that some of these verbs change meaning. For example, tener in the present is to have and in the preterite it is to get/receive. But does it always have to translate that way? If I wanted to ask what did you have to do yesterday I'm assuming it would be ¿Qué tuviste que hacer ayer? I...See More

Marie G N I agree with Daniel on this one. I would use tenías que hacer because the question is asking about your responsibilities and not whether or not you actually fulfilled them. When I teach the special uses of verbs in the preterite versus the imperfect, I tell my students that using the imperfect is simply stating one’s intention of the action, whe...See More

Oct 24, 2015

Allison Thanks everyone for your responses. I like your
explanation Marie. I actually found a "had to" in the
textbook and it uses tuviste que. But I would want to use
the imperfect as well. Marie's explanation makes a lot of
sense. Thanks again!

Hi,

Please help me with a sample of SLO. I have to do one by next week .

E. Hughes Do you mean a Student learning objective? Basically it's an important thing you hope students can do by the end of the year. It has to be measurable, and something you can show you did through documentation or student work. It can be a specific skill or piece of knowledge that you want students to show they have mastered, or it could be a performan...See More
