On Tuesday, March 19, 2019, Spanish\/Education professor Dr. Stacy Davis and two Linguaprofs<\/em> student members, Nicole Orf and Megan Kraus, traveled to Macon High School to give cultural presentations on Spain and Costa Rica. The three visited Truman alumna Miranda Walker\u2019s Spanish I, II, and III classes to present on their experiences studying abroad, as well as the impact of studying in a foreign country on increasing language skills, global consciousness, and personal growth. In addition to sharing information about the language, culture, places to see and activities to do in Costa Rica and in Spain, the pre-service teachers received invaluable experience in leading classes completely in Spanish. The Macon students thoroughly enjoyed the engaging activities designed by the two Truman Spanish majors, as well as the opportunity to ask questions about what it is like to learn a second language at the collegiate level and live in complete cultural and linguistic immersion. Dr. Davis hopes that this was the first of many visits, as a part of a new project to take Truman language and pre-MAE students to local schools with the goal of peaking interest in foreign language, culture, studying abroad, and perhaps even becoming future Bulldogs!<\/p>\n
