    I was born and raised in Havana

    Cuba. With English as my second language

    my personal perspective helps me to relate to what it means to be a learner of a foreign language. I am passionate about Spanish language and Hispanic culture. In my lessons

    one of my purposes is to promote the presence of Latin-American and Latino cultures in all diversity of expressions that would further advance students’ intercultural understanding. My classes not only build students’ knowledge of the language but also they enhance students’ sensibility for other culture values and beliefs that in many cases are different from their own. An important aspect of my teaching philosophy is to implement the communicative language teaching method. My classes focus on teaching students how to use language according to purpose

    setting

    and participants. For instance: when to use informal or formal speech or how to maintain communication despite having limitations on the use of language by experimenting with different ways of saying things. My teaching method incorporates current events

    role playing

    poetry

    short stories

    Latino folk and pop culture

    all through conversation-based practices

    to make students confident and fluent in Spanish while gaining a love for the language.
