We are hiring a high school Spanish teacher for my school next year, so I had one candidate observe my classes a couple weeks ago. She was blown away by the students’ ability to speak spontaneously in the target language. Her response was, “Why in the world are all schools in the US not teaching Spanish this way? This is so much better than learning numbers and colors again and again each year!” I am hopeful that as more and more people hear about the AIM program in the US, its popularity here will grow. It is so much better than what most schools here are doing!
