Presentation Transcript

  1. Spanish AT/Drill REQUIREMENTS: • Advanced language level (300+) • Ability to perform the Rassias Method • Availability for 2 meetings each week, either M/W pm or T/R am • Professional attitude, maturity and dependability • ENERGY & ENTHUSIASM!!!

  2. BENEFITS of being a DRILL INSTRUCTOR: • 2 hours credit for SPAN 388 (automatic registration), for up to 2 semesters • Semester stipend ($250-300) • Teaching experience (grad. schools and employers love to see this!!) • Radiant glow that comes from helping people learn a new language!

  3. The basics of the Rassias Method • Model: choral repeat • CUE / SNAP / POINT / LOOK AND MOVE • Errors: peer correction • Close with choral repeat

  4. ESSENTIAL GUIDELINES • Conduct class ENTIRELY in the target language… that means NO ENGLISH EVER! • Involve all students… avoid patterns --keep them thinking they’ll be called on next. • Use BODY LANGUAGE instead of English: mime, charades, exaggerated emotion, drama! • Keep up the pace, avoid pauses; but don’t rush. • Never explain grammar. That’s for the main class. Drill is for drilling!!

  5. Methodology- MOTION • Move AROUND!! • Be “in your face” • Leap, jump, run from student to student • Drill should be a WORKOUT!

  6. Methodology- ERRORS • Be ecstatic with correct answers, encouraging with mistakes • Quickly call on 2nd student for correction • Move in tight, crouch down for correction • After 3 misses, choral repeat

  7. EMOTION!!!!! • BE EMOTIONAL!! • When correcting mistakes, let your face and body show that the answer is wrong (Casi! Lo siento! etc.) • If the answer is correct, be ECSTATIC! (Bien! Estupendo!

  8. Professionalism • You must prepare thoroughly for drill each day by reviewing the syllabus, textbook, and drill exercises • You must keep in contact with your section professor (meetings, e-mail, etc.) • Keep a “business attitude” in class –leave chatting for outside the classroom
