Step-by-step Spanish Language Learning Method:
- The first step in the teaching process is to teach grammar and vocabulary so that students can use it as a foundation for the communication that will take place in class.
- The second step is to use a story that the students will read in class in order to experience Spanish as it is used in an authentic way.
- The third step is congruent with Gestalt, the German psychology theory, which says that for learning to take place, the material that has been learned must be incorporated into our normal way of thinking, behaving and speaking.
