I contribute to the English language acquisition of Spanish primary students through practice conversations, class discussions, reading and writing exercises, and creative games.
- In my first year, I mainly worked with students in the 1st to 3rd grade, helping them learn basic vocabulary, grammar, and conversation blocks.
- Currently, in my second year, I work with the 5th and 6th grades. I help the former express ideas about their culture and society, both in the classroom and on the Global Scholars platform where they interact with students from other countries.
- In the 6th grade, I prepare students for the external Cambridge English exam and guide them through more complex reading and writing exercises, such as poems, articles, and story composition in a second language.
