Many people tell me, "I took 4 years of Spanish in high school and don't remember anything." Unfortunately, they were taught with ineffective methods. Many foreign language teachers are switching gears to a more natural approach, using stories and songs to engage their students.
There has been a dramatic increase in the use of Spanish among my students since we started reading stories. I have students that struggle to remember vocab words, but they can tell me a sentence from a book we've read because we have discussed it in a more natural setting. Furthermore, I love seeing the feeling of accomplishment that my students have because they have read a book in Spanish!
