CLAD/BCLAD
Test Preparation For Spanish and Bilingual Teachers
Test # 6

Casa Xelaju Spanish Program offers an intensive total immersion CLAD/BCLAD test preparation course for the Spanish component. Our test preparation course will highly improve your listening, reading, speaking and academic writing skills to the point where you should be able to pass this test with ease. Schoolteachers will be focus on topics such as main ideas, cause and effect, and details. This training will increase and speed up teachers' speaking abilities, and comprehension in listening and writing. Our teachers will work on oral, reading, speaking and writing exercises similar to the real CLAD/BCLAD test # 6.

It is recommended that school teachers take this test preparation for at least 2 weeks. This period of time will allow teachers to master all the material included in the CLAD test # 6. The instruction for this test preparation will be one-on-one instruction, 5 hours a day, 5 days a week.

School teachers will be living with a Guatemalan family. Living with a Guatemalan family will help to improve teachers' listening and oral skills. Furthermore, Guatemalan families will help teachers to understand the culture and social issues of ELL students in their schools.

This test preparation is for teachers who will take the test for the first time or teachers who have not been able to pass the test on previous attempts. For more information about testing dates, please visit http://www.ctc.ca.gov/profserv/examinfo/cladbclad.html

This test preparation is offered year-round. Classes start on any Monday.
