Q: What do you like most about teaching Spanish?
Nilsa Rodriguez-Jaca: Teaching Spanish gives me the opportunity to share my love and knowledge of the cultures and cuisines of Spain and Latin America.
Q: What key learning would you like your students to take away from your class?
NR: As an educator, I want my students to be able to communicate with people from different ethnic and geographic backgrounds. Therefore, I encourage them to explore the rich and diverse Hispanic culture through readings, traveling, meeting people, and attending some of the cultural activities offered here at the Culinary Institute of America, and its surrounding region.
