Spanish Faculty Reach Out to Public Schools

On March 3rd, Drs. Rocío Moirón and Daniel Gilden accompanied six MWSU Modern Language students to Spring Garden Middle School in St. Joseph for the entire morning.  "The idea was to promote the study of foreign languages and bilingualism by partnering with the Spanish classes and especially the ESOL classes where many of the students speak Spanish at home, as well as indigenous languages from Central America," Dr. Gilden explained."  We shared ideas about languages, college readiness, and got to know each other a little better.  MWSU had a wonderful opportunity to put their language skills in practice with native speakers!"

The two faculty also spent a day promoting languages at Park Hill School in Kansas City on Feb. 18th.
