"Not just another list of websites..."

Hola Amigos!
El recurso del hoy es: iteachspanish2.com. This website claims that they are "not just another list of websites", and after looking around, I would have to say that they are very accurate. The site contains 9 different categories that are typically covered in beginning level Spanish courses, and then gives online games/supplements, ideas on how to teach the material, and additional activities to try in class. The resources and ideas they suggest can easily be added as a warm-up to a lesson, or as a reinforcement when learning new material. The activities are great for all learning styles, having something that relates to each learner, and are a great break for the student from the typical lecture style class they are used to. My personal favorite is the "Alfabeto" link. It's great for pronunciation and is a lot of fun! Overall, I highly suggest that you check out this site. I'm sure you will be able to find something you can use in your own classroom.

As always, feel free to leave comments/suggestions.
adios!

  1. I like the website layout and design. It is very neat, clean, and user-friendly, very different from many typical language resource websites with lots of ads. :)

  3. I agree with Eunjeong, the website is really easy to use. I also like the alphabet page and think it's really neat that the authors of this site even include little notes on nuances such as the similarity between b and v and that "ll" has officially been removed from the alphabet. Fun suggestions for the classroom, especially for younger learners.

  4. This is a great website for any language teacher I think because it gives lots of ideas for communicative fun activities for the units you would normally find in a beginner level textbook. Thanks for posting it.
