According to Haruki Murakami (2016) learning another language is like becoming another person. A starting point in learning a new language is being able to start constructing our own identity. Through finding new meanings, metaphors and manners of speech. One may start to see a new identity within themselves. This online course will hopefully allow students to grow as individuals. In order to have an effective course, data must be evaluated from student feedback. Points to be discussed are the evaluating tool used Survey Monkey, Saginaw Valley student feedback, current Spanish student attending Au Gres-Sims and the importance of feedback in a foreign language online immersion course.

Question one and five two students rated it strongly agree. Onc student rated it agree. For question two and six, one student rated it strongly agree and two students rated it agree. All three students strongly agreed on questions three and four. All students responded to question seven. Some of the responses for what students had learned throughout the course included the difference between Spanish and English social media, how to immerse in latino culture, the definition of Spanglish and that most Latinos in U.S, speak English.

My original idea was to have the instructions and syllabus in Spanish because I currently have immersion classes. My student Kaitlyn could not complete the survey online because our district had it blocked. Therefore, I gave her the survey verbally in Spanish.

I agree this was an amazing idea to find music with a political message. There are many things I do in class that I can easily add to my line course. Such as having the students try to understand jokes or visual interpretations of scenes of real life in another country for imagery. She couldn’t think of an answer for question eight other than she was comfortable using
