¡Feliz Año! Happy New Year! This episode is perfect if you're looking for ideas on how to set or reset your World Language classes for success. In this episode, we will be discussing ways to kick off the new year with a focus on building connections with your students, boosting their confidence, and staying in the target language.

Starting the year off on the right foot is crucial for setting the tone for the remainder of this term. If you're listening to this episode later in the year, these ideas will help you in those moments when you need a reset.  

I´ll share ideas for specific activities that will help you get to know your students and help them get to know each other. We will also discuss strategies for building confidence in your students and helping them feel comfortable using the target language, as well as ways to stay in the target language as much as possible in order to create a more immersive and authentic learning environment.
