I will be / /teaching your student using Proficiency Oriented Language Instruction.  As a language teacher my goal is for your / /student to be more proficient in the target language (Spanish) when they / /complete my course than when they began.
/ /
/ / A proficient / /learner can communicate about something appropriately and accurately for a / /purpose.  This is the goal.  This is my vision for your student.  I want them to be able to communicate about / /something appropriately and accurately for a purpose. Do I need to say it one / /more time?  My goal is for the students / /to be able to communicate about something appropriately and accurately for a / /purpose.
/ /
/ / What will the / /instruction look like?  It will have / /these four elements:
/ /
/ / LISTENING: listening to the teacher / /tell a story, listening to questions asked by the teacher, listening to the / /teacher describe a film
/ /
/ / READING: choral reading with the / /class, reading stories that have been told/asked in class, embedded reading, / /reading storyboards
/ /
/ / WRITING: filling in missing words / /in CLOZE passages, free writes, completing personalized sentence frames
/ /
/ / SPEAKING: responding to simple / /questions from the teacher (yes/no, either/or, etc.), re-telling class stories, / /reacting with rejoinders
/ /
/ / Don’t worry, there will be plenty of fun.  Think….puzzles, games, challenges, singing / /and so much more!
/ /
/ / To support each of these 4 elements during the week, I / /assign homework so that ideally the student is using one or two of the 4 / /elements daily.  At times what I assign / /requires using online sites such as:  Señor / /Wooly, Quizlet, Quizizz and some specific videos on YouTube.
/ /
/ / Drop Fees: No withdrawal fee if you withdraw in / /September.  Withdrawal fee for October / /and November is $140.  If you withdraw in / /December or later, the withdrawal fee is the balance of the year’s tuition.
/ /
/ / Do not send / /any fees to Profe Cooper until you receive an email from her.
