Tuesday, May 15 - PEQUENOS AMIGOS (Little friends)
Presented by Brazos Abiertos, a Spanish program for young children, located in Amherst MA. All the techniques and materials in the program are created considering the children’s general learning needs, language acquisitions steps, and communicative interests. Use music, puppets, games and stories to get the children excited about learning Spanish.
Easy immersion techniques are used as this approach is much better than total immersion because it allows the children to learn Spanish at their own level without feeling overwhelmed about learning language.
