Spanish for Educators

Classroom language and methodology for teachers.

An Authentic Learning Experience for Teachers & Administrators

The Intensive Spanish for Spanish teachers and ESL teachers is designed to supplement and perfect the Spanish language skills of teachers who interact with native-Spanish-speaking students.

Every summer, ASLI offers courses on a variety of topics of interest for educators who want to bring the culture of Mexico into their classrooms.

Special courses are offered for teachers who have been teaching other languages and who are now being asked to teach Spanish language classes.

Spanish for Educators

In the Classroom

Better Serve Your Spanish-speaking Students

Most educators are aware of the debate in education across the United States about using only English in the classroom, or about whether it is appropriate to teach children in their home language.

The Spanish Language Institute offers special programming for teachers, which includes basic Spanish classes, additional vocabulary classes for educators and administrators, as well as guided professional visits to schools and other types of educational centers in Cuernavaca.

Curriculum Development

Improve What You Teach

Many teachers who come to our language school are interested in teaching about the culture and history of Mexico. We are happy to help teachers develop Mexican resources and tools to use in their classrooms.

Group Programs for Educators

We work with many educators who want to return and bring a group of teachers or students with them. No two group programs are alike, each one including special educational activities.

We will help you develop a fee structure that will make your own study program very low in cost. And don't forget that any study program of two or more weeks can be considered for academic credit, graduate or undergraduate.
