High school teacher in California teaches Spanish with songs by Espinoza Paz

Teaching is a very complicated but also very rewarding job. It is difficult to have to be constantly updated on topics, teaching methods, materials, technologies, etc. because times are changing, therefore, also the way of teaching and learning.

When teachers have a vocation, it is noticeable by the enthusiasm they show both when giving the class and in planning it, when devising new exercises and activities that can engage the attention of the students. As demonstrated by Heidi Gutiérrez, a Latina teacher who teaches high school students in San Bernardino, California, United States.

The teacher has more than a decade of experience and has gone viral on TikTok for sharing a peculiar way of teaching Spanish to her students. In her account, she shares videos of how hers is day by day of her teaching and she mentions that she has a karaoke dynamic on Fridays so that her students reinforce the knowledge acquired in a fun way. But one in particular had a great reach, because she used the song by the Mexican singer-songwriter Espinoza Paz called the mushasha shula.

The video went viral, to date it has more than seven million views and more than two thousand comments, among which congratulations to the teacher stand out, although there are also those who do not agree with the selection of the song.

‘With that spirit, even Espinoza Paz gets excited’; ‘This is desire to want to connect with your students. I’m lovin ‘it’; ‘How I would like to have a teacher like that’; ‘Not even I who speak Spanish as a native language and can sing it’.

If even the network users were entertained, we can’t imagine the teacher’s students, because it should be noted that she even put choreography on them, so it was quite a challenge for them.

Even the teacher herself commented on her video, explaining that her goal is to convey a positive attitude to students so that they like being at school. Although she has detractors of her way of teaching, we cannot deny that the boys seem happy and it shows that she enjoys her work. Congratulations to the teacher for her beautiful work. They even wanted to dance and sing.
