As you know, learning is as varied and individual as the person studying.
Here are some ideas for successful learning in a Foreign Language class.
-
Be active! Go to cultural events, listen to music, watch your favorite DVDs in Spanish, make food from Spanish-speaking countries....
-
Study with friends. Play review games together, quiz each other, eat chips and salsa :)
-
Make flashcards with pictures- no English! Or use your textbook website's flip flashcards with pronunciation.
-
Come to Monday and Tuesday after school extra help.
-
Retest poor grades.
-
Study in shorter, more frequent sessions 15/20 minutes max. several times a week.
-
Use the language at home, with friends, in your head as the day goes on (colors, weather, etc.)
-
Read online comics in Spanish then make some of your own.
-
Study with a more advanced student. You have tutors available through the academic center or ask me.
-
Use the online resources to drill vocabulary, explain grammar in English and Spanish and practice, play games, listen to authentic speech... |
