As I mentioned in my previous post, Instagram is a great authentic resource for our students. Instagram bills itself as a platform to “capture and share the world’s moments”, making it a fabulous resource for the language classroom. With engaging visuals and language-rich descriptions, Instagram provides a stream of authentic resources at your fingertips. These visuals can be used as a hook to any lesson, as the center of interpretive activity, a jumping-off point for interpersonal conversation, or as a way to introduce authentic content into a unit. The possibilities are endless! Below are some Instagram accounts worth following for Spanish resources. (If you are not a Spanish teacher, scroll to the bottom for tips on finding good accounts for the classroom.)
Places/Travel
These accounts are pictures and descriptions of places around the world. Some are country specific, while others explore the world.
