Lessons adjust to each student's goals and motivations. However, the basic learning-season outline follows a simple structure. 1. Assessment. 2. Foundations 3. Practice A. 4. Grammar Review A 5. Grammar Review B. 6. Practice B. These six minimum lessons are tailored in such a way that any student will be able to learn and compare how much they've progressed through the course.
Each lesson begins with basic conversation to boost the student's confidence through practising interaction patterns. Then, new material is introduced in vocabulary and phraseology forms. This helps the student learn through association, repetition, and contextual exposure. Grammar reviews are introduced towards the second half to unpack what the student already knows in practice, enabling them to transport this knowledge to create new phrases.
The interactions are primarily in Spanish, making the most of the students' time. This is also the natural way our brains learn languages. However, English may be used for clarification, especially in early lessons.
As someone who has struggled with learning disabilities, I know how hard it may be to learn new info, and I try my best to suggest activities that will keep the learned motivated throughout.
