I am excited to tell you that we have a new online textbook to use to help aid learning. The textbook makes available all of the videos, games, flashcards, and slideshows that I will use for instruction in class. In addition, students have access to a vocab list and sample conversations using the vocabulary. Students can click the speaker icon next to the word or conversation and they will be able to hear it. This should help immensely with pronunciation and fluency! In addition, their workbook exercises are all available online.
If you have questions, please don't hesitate to contact me! I look forward to working with your children this trimester, and I hope that this course motivates them to continue
