Fun & Effective Activities for Spanish Teachers | From *Building Proficiency for World Language Learners
In this video, I share a variety of classroom-tested activities featured in my book, Building Proficiency for World Language Learners. These strategies are designed to help Spanish and world language teachers bring proficiency-based learning to life.
You’ll see examples of interactive grammar games like Connect Four and the Error Game, as well as templates that make reading comprehension and argumentative writing more accessible and engaging for students. I also touch on the importance of a proficiency orientation and how these activities support language acquisition across skill areas.
Whether you’re looking for low-prep games, writing strategies, or ways to align with ACTFL standards, this video offers ideas you can implement right away in your Spanish or world language classroom.
