Guadalupe Morales Zamora - Spanish teacher

We want our students to learn but also encourage them to be creative and
develop their speaking, listening, reading and listening skills and of course we
want them to have fun.

? What do we do in class?

Mrs Morales Zamora always speaks in Spanish to give the students the
opportunity to listen during one hour a Spanish native speaker. In China
students do not have many chances to listen or practice their Spanish and for
that reason we consider essential to use the language as much as we can
inside the classroom.
In every class students complete different kind of tasks:

- Singing and listen to music. Songs are one of the better and funniest ways

to learn a new language

- Write and read letters, words or small fragments of text

- Drawing and coloring

- Handcrafts

- Team games
We suggest the students to bring color pencils and a folder to keep in order
the class materials.
