SPANISH WITH SMITH-CARTY
Spanish is a language with five major skills - listening, speaking, reading, writing and viewing. My classes seek to develop all five, and students are encouraged to actively engage in these class activities. Students will do practice activities related to all five skills, and they will be tested accordingly.
The activities done in my Spanish classes range from simple to complex and aim to make my students capable of communicating with a native speaker, functioning in a Spanish-speaking country, having fun, getting their high school credit and reproducing (in Spanish) what they were taught in real life contexts.
