Spanish (Intermediate) Adjunct Professor
City University of New York September 2010 - May 2011 My college prep high school students took my class for college credit and participated in an authentic college level course. We covered discrete linguistic forms while also incorporating cultural, historical, and dialectal aspects of the Spanish language. Since I had the advantage of having a homogenous L1 class, we frequently filtered syntactical structures through the lens of the English language, while integrating all four language skills. We used the book Dos Mundos which served as a framework for the curriculum and lesson plans that I developed. Their capstone project was a country profile oral presentation that included dialectal variation of the country, its culture and history. |
