This guide deals with the subject in two parts: (1) background materials, and (2) classroom activities for teaching English to Spanish speakers. The first part discusses the general characteristics of the Spanish-speaking population in the United States, with particular attention to the diversity among them, some group profiles, and dialects and varieties of Spanish. The discussion then moves to questions teachers ask about the Spanish-speaking child, his or her language needs, and cultural differences. A third section addresses issues in contrastive linguistcs, language learning, pronunciation instruction, errors and why they occur, vocabulary learning, and the role of attitudes and motivation. The second part of the guide presents specific class activities for teaching sounds and pronunciation; stress rhythm, and intonation; morphology and syntax; and vocabulary. (AMH)
