Teachers have a great influence on the lives of their students, this influence can be both positive and
negative, affecting the life and future of these children. For that reason, as a teacher I want to influence
my students in a positive way that helps them in their daily challenges. I want my students to become
open-minded citizens and feel proud of their roots.
By teaching Spanish I want to help my students acquire the language in an easy, entertaining, and interesting
way that leads them to discover the wonderfulness of being bilingual, being able to communicate with two
worlds, two cultures and two languages. I want be able to provide them with a valuable tool to be competitive
in the 21st century, to be bilingual.
Today, teachers have to be prepared to handle different learning styles and meet the different needs of
students. To achieve this I have to plan and design lessons that are interesting, meaningful and fun using
different teaching methods to cover all the learning styles of my students.
My main mission as a Spanish teacher is to transmit and fill students with enthusiasm and passion to learn
the Spanish language and to be able to interact with other cultures. Once students discover the benefits and
importance of acquiring a second language, they will be able to use what they have learned beyond the walls
of the classroom and it will remain as a useful tool in their present and future lives.
