Instructor assumes no prior language experience and takes you through being able to communi-cate about what people do, can do, want to do, have to do, are going to do, are doing, used to do, would do and did as well as other authentic lan-guage context.Instructor: John Beckwith13796 Tue 5:45pm - 7:15pm / Jan 23 – Apr 17*


Introductory Spanish for EducatorsThe focus of this class is the acquisition of basic Spanish language structures and vocabulary through kinesthetic strategies that reflect first-language acquisition, which makes retention more intuitive and allows students to connect Spanish directly to the spatial/social world in-stead of to the English translation. Educators will be able to apply these basics to on-the-job com-munications with students, parents and co-work-ers. Necessary materials will be available elec-tronically. To earn credit, the educator needs to complete 15 of the 18 scheduled hours of class time and 15 hours of documented related as-signments outside of class.

Any level of speaking ability is welcome; however, students should have solid inventory of basic vocabulary and structures and be able to string three or four words together in some meaningful way. Efforts will be made to group speakers of similar ability, but participants should also expect to be the model for a less-skilled speaker or the novice speaker challenged by more skilled speakers.Instructor: John Beckwith13798 Tue 7:30pm - 8:30pm / Jan 23 – Mar 20
