April 26, 2013: Spanish for Non-Spanish Speakers, What Every Georgia Educator Should Know
Description: This one-day workshop is designed to enhance a teacher’s ability to understand and to work effectively with Spanish-speaking students and their families. No prior knowledge of Spanish is necessary. Workshop topics include: greetings (more than just saying hola!); authentic conversational practice, home-school communication with and without an interpreter, and language learning strategies for all ages. The afternoon is fi lled with engaging small group talleres (workshops) where participants acquire Spanish through folk art-making, play a Mexican variety of bingo, compete in fun rounds of “Latino USA” trivia, and salsa dance!
All students will receive a certificate of completion.
