My students come from different backgrounds and socioeconomic status but they all have the same passion, to learn a new language. As a Spanish teacher and a language learner myself, I have come to see that learning a new language can be very difficult but rewarding. That’s is why I am looking to expand my library with easy readers. Research shows that language acquisition comes easier when comprehensible input is taught. and these readers are full of cultural and proficiency value.
My Project
Hi. My name is Carmen Aparicio. I have been teaching Spanish in a middle school in New Jersey for 6 years. I love my job. It is very rewarding to see the kids grow and acquire the language.
Research has shown that in order for students to acquire a new language, the input has to be comprehensible.
Research also shows that reading enhances the students' vocabulary. The Spanish readers I am requesting have shown to help students grow in their language proficiency. These easy readers are full of cultural and learning value and will fit perfectly in my library. I am sure my students will love them.
