SURVIVOR

Described by the Indiana University of Pennsylvania's College of Humanities and Social

Sciences as "Revolutionizing" in the teaching and learning of a second language.

Adapted from Kevin and Tammy Lyons 4th year teaching this way to a Level 1 Class Simulated Immersion

SURVIVOR1. What exactly is Survivor?

"Survivor" is a method used in my class that requires students and teacher to converse while only using the Spanish language. The "game" is the constant process of the implementation of this method during class.

The teacher and students are required to conduct the entire class (every class) while only speaking Spanish. Students receive "Leones" (my own currency) for participating in Spanish.

At any time during any class, should a student speak English they would be "fined" a certain number of "Leones“. They may however ask me to speak English if they are confused or have an important question about the topic.

SURVIVOR

5. Why?

-There is no better way to learn Spanish! If you give true effort in this game you will succeed and you will learn to speak Spanish! How do I know for a fact that everyone can do it? Because you all learned English in this manner! If you can learn English you can learn Spanish!! It is as simple as that.

KEYS TO SUCCESS:

1. Keep your participation up

2. Don't speak English

THANK YOU FOR COMING THIS EVENING! I AM

LOOKING FORWARD TO A SUCCESSFUL AND

ENJOYABLE YEAR WITH YOUR CHILD!
