Spanish teacher

by Laura Gulas

May 13, 2009

Spanish teacher looking for a primary or secondary school in Michigan,Detroit. My name is Laura Gulas and I am a Chilean English teacher who has recently immigrated to the United States. For eight years I have worked in a variety of Chilean schools teaching students of all age levels. My love for teaching is based upon the different techniques I employ to reach the curriculm's goals; i.e. songs, computers, games, and story telling.

As a teacher I understand the importance of learning new methodologies in order to teach. In 1999, I studied for one year the techniques involved with teaching special ed children in a general classroom atmosphere. In 2007 I went to England as part of a teacher exchange program to both teach and learn other methodologies for teaching languages. Additionally, I have participated in numerous seminars through both the councils of the United States and the United Kingdom; in them I have learned strategies to improve my classroom abilities and to maximiz...See MoreSpanish teacher looking for a primary or secondary school in Michigan,Detroit.

Additionally, I have participated in numerous seminars through both the councils of the United States and the United Kingdom; in them I have learned strategies to improve my classroom abilities and to maximize the use of modern technologies i.e. the interactive board.

Since Chile is a Spanish speaking country far from English speaking countries, opportunites to learn every day English are few. Thus, we need to emphasize attractive accitivites and opportunites for students to learn. We have organized festivals of English songs in which students would perform karaoke. Other activities include opportunites to share both Spanish and English cultures through online contacts of international schools. These are opportunities for the students to make friends from their age groups and tastes while permitting both schools to have parallel learning opportunites for their students.

Additionally I have extensive experiences dealing with students suferring from social risks. In the Chilean public schools disadvataged students would often need special psychological approaches so as to allow them to communicate and maintain good behaviour in the classroom. This in the context of having forty-seven students per class while maintaining control have expanded my abilities.

Please if you know some information about schools, let me know.

Thanks, Laura Gulas.
