Homeschool Spanish Online with Web Conferencing

Our Web conference is a live virtual class session which is comprised of fifteen students and one teacher. Each session lasts thirty-five minutes and is offered two times a week. The purpose of the web conference sessions is to maintain the student's undivided attention while cultivating their verbal skills. They practice verbally the concepts and vocabulary which are being taught that particular week. It also incorporates previously learned concepts and vocabulary. Live interaction with other students encourages the development of their listening, reading, and writing skills in Spanish. This added feature of the program will strengthen one's confidence to interact in Spanish and become bilingual. The more a student will hear himself/herself communicating successfully in a foreign language the sooner the fear of making a mistake will diminish.

There are fifteen students and one teacher in a virtual classroom. The class lasts 35 minutes, twice a week. Once a student is placed in a virtual class he/she will stay with this group of people and teacher until the course is completed. Occasionally, there will be guest appearances from native speakers. Full instructions will be given on how to participate and use the web conferences

To participate in a web conference session each student will need a web-camera and a microphone. These two items are available wherever computers are sold.
