There is a new movement with teaching language and I need resources to do the best I can with all my kiddos. Our brains are designed for language acquisition. After four decades of research in the area of second language acquisition, it is clear that language is acquired not from practice (drills), but from consistent and constant exposure to input. Input is indispensable to language acquisition: language cannot be acquired without it. The SOMOS curriculum supports teachers in communicating with their students in comprehensible Spanish every day in class. Using Comprehensible Input rather than teaching to vocab lists and grammar rules is what I want to do but I need these resources!
