¡Bienvidos a la clase de español!

 ¡Bienvenidos a la clase de español!


My name is Señora Elena and I am so happy to be teaching Spanish at Barnard Academy.  I have taught elementary Spanish in the Windsor Central Supervisory Union for fifteen years and have taught at each of our district schools at one time or another (and even a few that are now closed).  I favor a communicative approach to language learning that incorporates culture through the use of authentic resources.  Language is best learned when there is a communicative purpose.  The instructional methods used in class are proven to be effective based on forty years of second language acquisition research.


"We acquire language when we understand messages; when we understand what people tell us and when we understand what we read." 

--Dr. Stephen Krashen
