The Essential Spanish Phrase Book For Teachers

Overcome the language barrier with your Spanishspeaking students and their families! Includes English-Spanish translation charts, idiomatic expressions, cognates (words in both languages that are very similar in spelling and pronunciation), and more. Tabbed for quick access, is organized around three sections -- Inside the Classroom, Inside the School, and Inside Family Communication -- and covers the typical situations and events in an elementary school day. Each chapter begins with a photo that illustrates the topic and a dialogue table followed by a list of useful expressions, vocabulary focusing on cognates, cultural presentations, and common structures.

This book has been written for English speaking teachers who have Spanish speaking children in their classes, and for home-educating parents who would like to introduce some Spanish words and phrases into their education routines. Over 46 themes you will learn vocabulary groups relevant to work and play with primary school age children. Included are lexical groups routines, relationships, games and learning. Pronunciation guides are given throughout. This short and quirky guide to Spanish is for teaching English children Spanish phrases, or for helping Spanish children integrate and feel welcomed into English speaking settings. Inspired by teachers and children, I hope you will enjoy the gentle humour as you recognise the phrases that we, and our children, really use.When I picture people using this book I imagine educators choosing words, phrases and questions that they think will be particularly useful, and aiming to use them with their children. I have written this for you, whether you have a Spanish speaking child who you are helping to integrate with English speaking peers, or you have English speaking children who want to learn Spanish phrases that are relevant to them.I encourage you to mix the two languages. This is known as code switching. It is a natural way to learn, and because it is unforced, it is easier and more likely to be successful.Thank you for making the effort for your children.
