Foreign Language
Bienvenidos a la clase de lenguas extranjeras
Hola a todos y bienvenidos a la página web de la clase de lenguas extranjeras, español para ser más claros. Hello to everyone and welcome to the Foreign Language website.
My name is Sergio Meza Padilla and I am a native of Colombia, in South America. I grew up in a city called Cartagena and my study background goes from journalism to a master degree in education, though I am currently pursuing a new master degree in applied linguistics to teach Spanish as a foreign language. It's been a while since I decided to become a teacher and I'm loving it!
I'd like to ask you this simple question as you peruse this section of the school website: why is it Spanish so important nowadays in a country like ours? Well, Spanish is the second most common language in the United States, and is spoken by over 12% of the population. Furthermore, the United States holds the world's fifth largest Spanish-speaking population, outnumbered only by Mexico, Spain, Argentina, and Colombia which are Spanish-speaking countries. This fact means that Spanish is very important and it's part of this country.
We live in a country where cultural diversity is huge, so acquiring a second language is a "must". When I asked my classes why they think is important to acquire a second language, mostly everyone responds the same way: because you can communicate with people from other countries and cultures and is communication a key factor in foreign language teaching nowadays.
I believe at some point in life, my students will encounter the chance to speak the language with someone in this country or out of it. I hope you find this website appealing and helpful. You will find links to the different Spanish levels (I, II, III and IV) just click on the right one if you'd like to know what's going on in class. I will commit myself to update this website on a regular basis. Sergio Meza Padilla, M.Ed.

Clase de español I / Spanish I |
Bienvenidos a la clase de español 1Hola a todos. Muchas gracias por mirar la página web de la clase de español I del Señor Meza. Hello everyone, thanks for stopping by to Mr. Meza's Spanish I class.
After completing a journey of 3 years in middle school, students will have the chance to review some of the information they have studied before, to build the needed foundation to succeed in class. Spanish I is an easy class and the curriculum as well as the classes are based on you child needs, talents and learning styles.
A copy of the curriculum, homework policy, class rules and so on are available for you to download them and print them if you wish. Please take the time to read this information because it's imperative you know what your child will learn in class and what I expect as your child's Spanish teacher.
Information about the projects will be available later during the 2009-2010 school year. It is my intention to keep this website updated with everything that's going in class, so you will find updates on a regular basis.
