How should I use each activity type to engage my students and optimize their learning?

Every Rockalingua theme has a set of activities designed to work together. They introduce the concepts, reinforce them, and then give your students different ways to practice. This guide explains what each activity type is and where it fits in the learning process.

The core: Songs and videos

Rockalingua focuses on teaching Spanish through songs your students will love listening to and singing. Each theme has two activities built around the same song, and they serve different purposes.
