Spanish I and II 2020-21
TeachingStrategies
Spanish language is taught using TPRS (Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling) and CI (Comprehensible Input) methods. TPRS emphasizes mastery and proficiency in the language rather than short-term memorization of vocabulary and grammar rules. Research has shown that students who acquire language through TPRS/CI methods score competitively on national assessments and college placement exams. The target language is spoken 90% (or more) of the time as endorsed by ACTFL (the American Council on the Teaching
of Foreign Languages).
