Abstract

Spanish is a foreign language in Trinidad and Tobago which is an English-speaking country in the Caribbean. This language is a compulsory subject in public secondary schools for the first three years but there are students who choose to study it for five or seven years. Teachers experience challenges in the teaching of Spanish.  Therefore, it is necessary to use various teaching strategies. The importance of Spanish as a foreign language in Trinidad and Tobago and the theories of learning and acquisition of a foreign language form a great part of this investigation. This article examines the teaching of Spanish in Trinidad and Tobago: the challenges, opportunities and strategies by Trinidadian and Tobagonian Spanish teachers.
