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.
