Procedure for Guest Speaker Option in Spanish 

In Spanish 111-212, you have the option of inviting a Spanish speaker to class, and asking them a series of questions in front of the other students.  The primary purpose is that we have many different people talking to us throughout the semester, about subjects that we are currently studying.  The guest speaker option counts for 20 points in the Communities component.

Here’s how it works:

  • Sign up for a day to bring a guest speaker.  Even if you don’t know for sure what day would be best for you, sign up anyway, and then change your date later if you need to.  There are limited opportunities for this and your instructor must pre-approve this activity.
  • Think of whom to invite.  Your guest should preferably be a native speaker of Spanish, but a very good non-native speaker is all right too.  Your guest should be willing to commit a maximum of 15 minutes at the beginning of a class period, and for the sake of your own grade, should be reliable.
  • Prepare 10 - 15 questions, with special emphasis on what we are studying at the time.  (The section on Preguntas Personales is a good source of questions.)  Go over them with your guest to make sure they feel prepared.  Double check with your guest the time and place of the class.
  • On the appointed day, make sure you and your guest arrive at class early.  Ask your questions, and stand with your guest while the teacher and students ask theirs.
  • Give your guest a thank-you note.
