My students attend classes on the block schedule. Two full years used to be required in high school. Now, only the advanced diploma requires the two years of language study. However, the block system has forever changed the amount of time dedicated to learning languages. One semester of Spanish 1 and one Semester of Spanish 2 are now considered the 2 yrs of language. This is not much time to acquire a new language, but I remain hopeful that the time my students spend learning how to speak Spanish and learning about the cultures of Spanish speaking countries will contribute to a desire to continue studies of the language into the college years and beyond.
The requested docking station will allow me to connect/play videos clearly, and hopefully with less interruptions. I believe it will allow us to experience better sounds also, which are extremely important while learning languages, so that the students may mimic what they hear.
Since I am still pretty new to teaching, the Teachers Pay Teachers Resources would allow me to see what other Language Teachers are using to engage their students with games keep them engaged.
