Amanda uses a variety of methods to teach language depending on the students' levels, goals and target languages. For the most part, she focuses on the communicative approach with the natural approach and a little grammar-translation when needed. Spanish classes use Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling. TPRS is a unique and effective method of language learning that all ages enjoy. This is not a traditional language class of grammar and vocabulary drills, but instead uses stories for language acquisition. Students will be reading Spanish during their first class.
