La alegría y la creatividad en el aula del español
National Teach Spanish Week (formerly National Teach Spanish Day) has been extended by popular demand to a week-long event to be held Sunday, September 25 - Sunday, October 2. The program highlights student and faculty teaching
and engagement with Spanish language and culture(s) in the US and abroad. The event is held each year in conjunction with Hispanic/Latino/Latinx Heritage Month.
The purpose of National Teach Spanish Week is
1. To promote the teaching of Spanish as a profession. 2. To call attention to the current Spanish teacher shortage (PreK-16+) in the US. 3. To emphasize the importance of Spanish as a world language.
