This site is designed for Spanish instructors.

As educators we are always looking for new ideas to motivate our students. I hope this site will assist educators as they plan in-class and out of class activities. These resources are aimed at first-year Spanish classes, but could easily be adapted for almost any level. I have included links to helpful sources designed to aid the four language skills: reading, writing, listening, and speaking (or what I call 'virtual speaking'). Also included are links to 'cultural hot spots' and sites that will allow students to practice new grammar or refresh those grammar points they have not yet fully mastered. I have included some ideas on how these links might be implemented into the Spanish class curriculum. The experienced educator, however, will want to use his or her imagination in expanding or varying these activities to suit their individual class needs.
