This book is written for middle and high school Spanish teachers. Its subject matter covers material normally taught in first year Spanish class. The book is divided into 10 parts. There are 31 lessons each one preceded by its objective, its method of accomplishment, and its outcome. Most of the 40 exercises have 20 or more items. Each exercise is accompanied by its solution. The modular design of each lesson enables it to stand on its own so you can easily fit it into your teaching schedule and carriculum insted of the other way around. This structure also makes it ideally suited for review. My unique 3-step approach to conjugating regular verbs, enables the student to easily grasp the mechanics of the operation, and, when necessary, enables her/him to diagnose and correct errors. You will find a verb bank of regular verbs, a verb bank of reflexive verbs, ample listings of stem-changing verbs, a listing of popular activities, a pronunciation guide to high frequency words, and two appendices.

Taruka is the new girl at the high school in town. The story takes the reader through a year of high school that Taruka is not likely to forget. She makes friends and meets a boy, Cooper. Like Cooper and many of the students at the school Taruka is very involved in sports, so she gets along with her new classmates well. But issues arise with her newfound friendship with Cooper when their differences are highlighted by the adults in their lives. This book is intended as a reader for students learning English. While the story has a plot similar to the classic story of Romeo and Juliet or Tony and Maria, the vocabulary and grammar are simple and comprehensible even for those just beginning with English.

The 3rd edition of "Practical Advice" is a collection of 37 essays written by classroom teachers who educate heritage learners of Spanish. The essays are organized into 8 sections: "Are Heritage Learners Different", "Essential Goals", "First Steps", "Several Different Approaches to an HL Course", "Heritage and non-Heritage Learners Together", "An Organized Reading Program is Powerful", "Confronting Culture", and "Activities, Projects, Lessons, Events". We outline approaches that respect the unique needs of heritage learners. Topics include: the differences between heritage and native speakers of Spanish, a surprisingly essay about the differences between native-speaking and non-native speaking teachers, reflections on appropriate goals to structure a school year, home-school communication and issues particular to working with non-English speaking families, how to develop an independent reading program and how to structure a class with extremely heterogeneous reading levels, working within school cultures that may inadvertently undermine the needs of heritage learners, and a host of activities that work well in heritage learner classes. There are four essays outlining entirely different approaches to the school year: one that modifies a traditional thematic approach including descriptions for monthly units, a second approach based on pleasure reading designed to develop a love of reading even among low-level readers, a language arts approach designed to work in tandem with teachers in the ELA program, and an identity-based approach explicitly designed to strengthen the connections between home, school and community. In addition, there are three essays detailing different approaches to leading mixed classes, with both heritage and non-heritage learners. The third edition offers a strong approach to reading, offering big picture advice on developing a pleasure reading program as well as concrete, day to day activities that are easy to follow.
