Welcome to the Second Annual Conference Celebrating Excellence in Spanish, “In Pursuit of Excellence”!
Building on the great success of last year’s event, we are gathering again in this collaborative space for inspiration, innovation, and to continue to advance the amazing adventure of teaching and learning Spanish.
In this year’s edition, we will reflect on the theme of authenticity in the Spanish classroom and the importance of immersing our students in real and meaningful language use through experiences that are personally and emotionally significant to them, sparking their interest and increasing motivation. We have gathered a group outstanding professionals and international experts to explore this theme from diverse perspectives.
Explore new frontiers in the teaching and learning of Spanish!
