Hello, my name is Carmen Valenzuela. I teach Spanish at the Modern Languages and Literatures Department at Baruch College. The classes I am currently teaching are Elementary Spanish I and II. The format is in person, but I have taught online classes and the classes I will teach next semester may be online.
The goals for the classes are to communicate in Spanish at an elementary level, both in writing and orally. Becoming familiar with Hispanic culture is another important goal.
I would like to work on the frame of the class and policies that can make the class more productive. The sylllabus is an important document that reflects the frame, but there are also interventions one can make that are not written, but work for this purpose
