Caitlin JensenValencia, SpainSecondary Language Teacher - English
In my role as a Language English Teacher, I draw upon my experience as a language assistant in the North American Language and Culture Assistants Program (NALCAP), where I honed my skills in conducting interactive and effective English language lessons. In the NALCAP, I organized activities that not only facilitated language learning but also promoted mutual understanding and cultural appreciation among students.
As a language assistant, I provided direct support, valuable feedback, and mentorship to students, recognizing the importance of personalized guidance in language acquisition. Beyond the classroom, I established and nurtured strong partnerships with Spanish educational institutions, contributing to a collaborative and enriching learning environment.
Furthermore, my engagement extended to organizing events that fostered meaningful dialogue between language assistants and local communities. These experiences enhanced my ability to connect language learning with real-world applications, providing students with a broader perspective on language usage and cultural nuances.
In addition, I actively contributed to the creation of relevant educational materials aligned with curriculum objectives, ensuring that lessons were not only engaging but also met the educational standards. I leveraged student performance data to tailor instructional strategies, identifying areas of improvement and implementing targeted interventions to ensure optimal academic progress.
