Ever felt stuck on how to start your curriculum theme, or noticed your students could use a bit more help before jumping into a new unit? If that sounds familiar, this episode of Growing With Proficiency The Podcast is just for you.

In one of our recent hot seat sessions inside GWP The Spanish Teacher Academy, a member asked us this question: "My students need to talk about their 'plan de vida', but they're short on the right language skills and they're not too excited about talking. What should I do?"

We came with a very effective and efficient solution using 3 main strategies: anchor charts, model texts, and write & discuss.

What's great about this approach is its straightforwardness. The main thing you need is a clear idea of what you want your students to understand or do at the end of the unit. This clarity helps you guide them during the process.  And here's the best part - you don't have to spend hours looking for or making materials before class. All the resources you need can be created right there in the classroom with your students.

This doesn't mean you don't have to prepare. In fact, the preparation is very targeted, but it won't take up much of your time. Ready to find out how you can boost student involvement and language proficiency in your language classes with just a little prep and lots of fun? Tune in to this episode now.
