I have begun the year for every class (5th-8th) posing the question, “¿Qué se aprende en una Clase de Idioma? It means “What is learned in a language classroom?”
The students’ answers are wonderfully thoughtful and creative. There are several responses displayed on the bulletin board outside my classroom. Here are just a few examples …
Es poner nuestro mundo en perspectiva. (It is putting our world into perspective) – Eirene, 6th Grade
Aquí se aprende a participar en otras culturas. Aquí se aprende de la belleza de otro país. (Here one learns to participate in other cutures. Here one learns about the beauty of another country) – Victorio (Max), 6th Grade
Nuestras mentes y orejas ya no son sordas; están absorbiendo y comprendiendo una nueva lengua. (Our minds and ears are no longer deaf; they are absorbing and comprehending a new language) – Helena, 7th Grade
Es explorar sin miedo maravillas sin límites. (It is exploring without fear wonders without limits) – William, 7th Grade
En una Clase de Idioma abrimos la puerta a un nuevo mundo con secretos desconocidos. (In a language class, we open the door to a new world of unknown secrets) – Anja, 8th Grade
Aquí aprendemos a absorber la variedad de culturas y a aceptar toda la gente. (Here we learn to absorb a variety of cultures and to accept everyone) – Jack, 8th Grade
