World Language - Ibis Deniken
Dear Parents:
My name is Mrs. Ibis Deniken, and I have the pleasure to be
your child’s Spanish teacher. It is my commitment to make your child’s
experience of learning the Spanish language a very productive, enriching, and
engaging endeavor.
As many of you might know, learning a foreign language will
benefit your child’s performance in a variety of ways: academically,
culturally, socially and communicatively, as well as being able to become a
productive member in a very competitive and demanding society of a globalized
world.
My teaching approach is focused on the students’ capability
to interact at a level of a native speaker. Although acquisition of native
accent is not a priority, proper pronunciation is, in order to be understood by
others and establish an effective communication in the Spanish language.
Understanding and accepting cultural practices performed by
native speakers is part of the curriculum. Getting to know the Hispanic culture
will make our students open-minded individuals in recognition of diversity in
our classrooms, neighborhoods, communities, schools, workplace and anywhere
they might interact with others.
It is truly a pleasure to be your child’s teacher and I will
fulfill my duties as such at the highest level.
Please feel free to contact me at [email protected].
Sincerely,
Mrs. Deniken
