Regardless of the age of your learners, stickers are a fun way to provide input and build vocabulary.
Why Stickers Belong in the Language Classroom
When people think of stickers, they often picture children and reward charts. But stickers can be powerful and versatile tools in language learning, regardless of age. They offer visual reinforcement, instant feedback, and a playful way to mark progress. In a Spanish class, stickers help:

- Break up the monotony of worksheets or drills
