Studies a particular topic relative to the Spanish language or Hispanic cultures. May be repeated for credit when topics vary.
While enrolled in this class, I was given the opportunity to learn about the linguistic studies that have been done about the language teaching profession, and how every teaching technique might affect the learning process of the student in different ways. Learning about such studies was very relevant to my career, and since being a Spanish teacher is my goal, this class was very useful. During the learning process of this course, we got to learn about several teaching techniques and how to properly correct the students when any mistakes are made, in order to increase the chances of the material being well learn and avoid making the previous mistakes. This class provided us with the unique opportunity of teaching a class for one hours, each student presented material from a selected reading. Throughout this presentation, we got the first experience of teaching a class and being observed by a professor who is an expert on the linguistic material. For my presentation, I got the opportunity to teach about the Integrated Performance Assessment, in which the intake of the student is measured depending on the teaching format. During my presentation, I got the opportunity to make the classroom work in groups in order to figure out the answers for the questions I had prepared for them, and at the end, we were able to play a quick game of cahoot. Taking this class has been an awesome opportunity since it allowed me to have my first experience as a teacher.(250 words)
