About This Activity
Spanish Review / Preview (Gilman, BMS, and RPCS Students) This summer, Gilman’s Upper School is offering a Spanish Intensive Review & Preview course designed for: 1. Students heading into Spanish I, II, or III who have struggled to grasp linguistic concepts and/or structures in their previous language study 2. Students who did not meet or narrowly met the expectations required for promotion to the next level of Spanish study 3. Students who are completely new to the study of modern languages In this one-week summer session, students will get a review of some foundational language mechanics to set them up for success in the next level of Spanish in the Upper School. We will also talk about organizational and note-taking strategies for their language classes. Students will establish who they are as language learners and will be introduced to specific studying approaches based on their learner profile. They will come away with a variety of resources that will benefit them throughout the school year.
