Speaking Practice Log
1. formally interviewing a native speaker (a professional, for example),
2. informally talking to a native speaker (such as a relative, a neighbor, or a family friend),
3.
reading Spanish-language children's books to younger children,
4.
speaking into a recording device and listening to yourself for accuracy,
5. presenting to the class on a topic of interest for five or more minutes without notes (visual aides and objects are fine but no assistive writing on them),
6.
a five-minute radio or TV news broadcast for the class,
7.
job shadowing for a day, etc.
All speaking activities must be appropriate for school. The native speaker may be bilingual or multilingual or speak only Spanish (monolingual), but only Spanish is to be used. Completing these activities provides students the opportunity to learn new thematic vocabulary and grammatical structures within real-life contexts. Through these extracurricular studies, they may learn about current events, culture, sociology, history, family stories, relationships, technology, theology, science, geography, climate, travel skills, self-improvement, or any other set of knowledge and skills useful in life, especially in Spanish-speaking areas. Students may want to gear their chosen activities toward any future careers of interest.
