How Has Spanish Played a Role in Your Personal and Professional Life? |
In 1985, I was signed up to take German as a sophomore in high school, but after a summer trip to the rural mountains of Honduras, I came back and changed to Spanish. That trip truly changed the trajectory of my life. Professionally, my passion is creating solutions for perennial problems in Spanish-language education. While grammar instruction has fallen out of favor for many teachers, I still see it as 1) an integral part of a well-rounded Spanish class, and 2) supportive of communicative competence. Personally, I enjoy the challenges of learning and continuing to learn Spanish.
