The Day Bolivian Students Came to School Motivating Students through Culture
Davin, Kristin
Learning Languages, v15 n2 p8-9 Spr 2010
Like many elementary foreign language teachers, the author traveled from room to room to teach. Each room had different materials and a different classroom culture. This article describes how the author taught her students about Bolivia and how to motivate them through culture. It discusses a service-learning project that brings life-changing lessons in language and culture to elementary students at Pittsburgh's Falk Laboratory School.
