Jim Linos, Upper School Spanish teacher, will present "Spanish Grammar Made Simpler" at
the Southern Conference On Language Teaching (SCOLT) in Memphis, Tenn., March 13-15.
SCOLT's 2014 conference promises to provide attendees with a wealth of choices in pre- and post-conference workshops, panels/sessions, keynote presentations, corporate exhibits, and small meeting groups.
"Our expectation is that everyone will return to their respective institutions with fresh ideas and useful information provided by leading figures from national and regional professional organizations in the field of world languages," said June Carter, president of SCOLT.
A description of Linos' session, which will take place March 15 at 11:45 a.m., is below:
Do you have a tough time explaining the differences between the preterite and imperfect, indicative and subjunctive (and imperative), or para and por? If so, you are invited to attend a session where the answers are simple. Too simple? That is always possible, but do second- and third-year students really need to know every single exception to a general rule? Spanish grammar is already complicated, why make it more so?
