The Science Behind Teaching Spanish

We have the expertise to inform without bias which method or curriculum is best suited for any particular scenario.

A properly designed curriculum makes teaching more effective. We have evaluated many different curriculum options used in classrooms and after-school programs across the country from commercial to educator-created and across instructional philosophies. We carefully select and license award-winning programs that follow ACTFL World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages and partner with experts in curriculum development that continuously update and enhance Spanish learning content and methods.

Licensing and teaching with a variety of curricula through the years has allowed us to develop a keen eye for which instructional techniques work best in different scenarios. While most curriculum developers make wide claims about the versatility of their programs, we have noticed that multiple variables have an impact on the success of one curriculum over another:

  • Younger Students vs Older Students
  • After-school vs Classroom formats
  • Heritage speakers vs Second Language Learners
  • Exposure vs Proficiency Objectives
  • And More!

To supplement a curriculum, we are constantly evaluating and testing individual support materials to find the best ways to make a difference in creating a fully engaging learning environment. There are excellent teaching aids being developed all the time by major publishers, independent pedagogical experts and Spanish language education practitioners. You can count on us to keep a finger on the pulse of the latest developments to enhance the teaching of Spanish as a second language.
