My name is Dr. Antonek and I am the Spanish teacher at MC@UNCG. It is a privilege to have the opportunity to enhance my students' knowledge of the Spanish language and cultures. Speaking more than one language has opened many doors for me. I have visited almost 50 countries and my life has been enriched by the diversity both at home and abroad. By learning another language, students are more prepared for 21st century skills.
Language learning should be fun and engaging and, with a positive attitude and effort, everyone can learn a language. On my website, you will find information and expectations that will help you have a productive and successful year in Spanish. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.
MCUNCG offers Spanish levels 1-4. Our program is a proficiency- and growth-oriented approach to language teaching and learning. Students learn to communicate orally (listening & speaking), read, and write. Accuracy and grammar are taught through using language in a meaningful context. Students learn about customs, culture, geography, and Hispanics making a difference.
As feasible, in Spanish class we incorporate globally relevant themes (e.g., sustainability, over-consumption of resources, natural disasters, social and cultural issues), especially as they relate to the Spanish speaking world.
