This book, now in a new revised edition, is the product of decades of language teaching experience. Packed with practical information and useful examples, it addresses a wide variety of topics relevant to teaching Spanish at the K-12 level, including the teaching of the four skills, culture, and assessment, as well as broader issues such as the qualifications necessary for becoming a language teacher, advocacy for foreign language programs, the needs of advanced and special classes, out-of-class activities, and professional development for teachers.
