Exploring the Art and Language of Hispanic Artists, a bilingual VFT
For novice to intermediate native English speakers learning Spanish or native Spanish speakers learning English in Kindergarten-12th grade
In this bilingual program, students will engage with works of art from the permanent collection made by artists whose first language is Spanish. Novice to intermediate language learners will practice their target language while speaking to share their observations of the works of art, while being free to express themselves in their native language as well.
“The facilitator did a great job of asking students engaging questions and switching between both languages. My students felt comfortable enough to answer her questions and engage with the art. 10/10 would recommend to other language educators!” — Spanish Teacher
