Summertime sun makes learning Spanish fun!
Language learning has had many different theories over the decades that have claimed to be the best way to learn a new language. However, one thing is for sure, the main ingredient to language learning is comprehensible input. According to Stephen Krashen, a linguist and language learner himself, students who understand and are interested in the content of a second language are more apt to acquire the language--not just learn it. At Summer Spanish Immersion, we take this to heart when setting up our camp sessions. Students are given the chance to have fun playing outside, making crafts, cooking, and participating in games all in Spanish. Our hope is that students have so much fun, they forget they acquiring a new language. This year, Summer Spanish Immersion camp will take a trip to a Spanish speaking country every day. Each day will include native speakers who will share their experience and cultural genius from these select countries! We are very grateful and excited for our amazing volunteers who are coming to share! Crafts and games will reflect the country of study each day. However don't worry returning campers--we cannot have Spanish Immersion camp without some of slime and tie-dye favorites! Dates and times are included on the signup tab! |
