SPEAKING SPANISH

Students are expected to use the language as much as possible during this class. Experience has proven that you CAN speak Spanish and communicate. Mistakes will happen. This is how language is developed. Some days you’ll do better than other days, but the more you try, the easier speaking will be for you.  Daily practice will move you towards proficiency in communicating in a meaningful way with others. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!

Guidelines for Speaking

the “A” student – Frequently volunteers to answer even if unsure and to communicate in Spanish whenever possible.

the “C” student – Sometimes volunteers to answer questions even if unsure and to communicate in Spanish whenever possible.

the “F” student – Seldomly volunteers to answer questions even if unsure and to communicate in Spanish whenever possible. Will participate passively almost to the point of non-participation.
