Two Innovative Choices for
Teaching Cops Or
Firefighters & Paramedics --
Only Available With Us!
Fun Lessons for Law
Enforcement or Fun
Lessons for Emergency
Responders! Don't
reinvent the wheel! Develop and
teach professional classes at
police/sheriff/fire departments,
colleges or academies using our
police or fire/paramedic
instructor manuals.
Even if you lack classroom
techniques and language teaching
experience, you can be
successful using our classroom
methods and experience, basing
your course on our hands-on
presentation of a 36-hour
beginning Spanish classes for
Law Enforcement for police
officers/deputies or Spanish for
Emergency Responders for
firefighters and paramedics.
In the case you have limited
classroom hours, consider an
alternative approach for classes
under 24 hours. Follow our
instructor manual's steps having
your students using only our
student booklets as their
primary text since you will not
have enough classroom time to
teach structure and basic
vocabulary in our student
textbook, Breezing Through
Emergency Spanish.
We have taken lots of shortcuts
to eliminate unnecessary content
and to present a minimum of
structure, getting students off
to the best possible start for
speaking and understanding. Your
students will get personal
information, act out scenarios,
give commands, as well as learn
basic vocabulary and apply
structural concepts. This is an
alternative to traditional
textbooks—and a lot more fun to
teach! For extra practice, a
floppy disk with quizzes in
PowerPoint is included with the
manuals.
Both our police and
fire/paramedic manuals are based
on Book 1 of our student
textbook edition, Breezing
Through Emergency Spanish. The
law enforcement student booklet
is Spanish for Emergency
Personnel and the emergency
responder student booklet is
Spanish for Firefighters,
Paramedics and Police Officers.
LE edition: Fifty-eight pages,
1st ed., 2002; Plastic binding.
ER edition: Fifty-eight pages,
1st ed., 2003; Plastic binding.
Note: to simplify your
presentation, student texts are
not included within the
instructor manuals and they
should be purchased separately. |
