Zonas de regulación es una estrategia de intervención creada por Leah Kuypers, Terapeuta Ocupacional Estadounidense. Leah desarrolló este programa en base a su experiencia clínica y estudios de postgrado en el área de Trastornos del Espectro Autista (TEA) y de Trastorno de Déficit Atencional e Hiperactividad (TDAH) y sistemas de autorregulación (procesamiento sensorial, regulación emocional y funciones ejecutivas), el que fue integrado como parte de los contenidos de los currículos en escuelas.

Zonas de regulación es un modelo sistemático de intervención cognitivo-conductual que se usa para enseñar estrategias de auto-regulación, categorizando dentro de cuatro zonas de colores específicos las diferentes emociones y estados de alerta que podemos experimentar. Este modelo de intervención pretende enseñarle a los estudiantes a reconocer y controlar sus emociones e impulsos de manera independiente, además de manejar sus necesidades sensoriales y mejorar su habilidad para resolver problemas.

Las zonas de regulación incorporan conceptos de Social Thinking® (www.socialthinking.com) y usa numerosos apoyos visuales para ayudar a los estudiantes a identificar sus emociones/nivel de alerta, entender como su comportamiento impacta a quienes están a su alrededor, y adquirir herramientas prácticas para manejar sus emociones y estado de alerta.

LAS CUATRO ZONAS: Nuestras emociones y estados determinan nuestras zonas.

La zona roja es usada para describir estados de alerta extremadamente elevados y emociones intensas. Una persona puede sentirse demasiado excitado o experimentar enojo, rabia, sentirse devastad@ o aterrorizad@ cuando está en la zona roja.

La zona amarilla se usa para describir emociones y estados de alerta elevados, sin embargo, uno tiene más capacidad de control cuando esta en la zona amarilla. Una persona podría experimentar estrés, frustración, ansiedad, excitación, payasear o sentirse nervioso cuando está en la zona amarilla.

La zona verde es usada para describir un estado de alerta calmo. Una persona podría ser descrita como feliz, concentrada, contenta o list@ para aprender, cuando está en la zona verde. Esta es la zona en que los aprendizajes significativos ocurren.

La zona azul se usa para escribir estados bajos de alerta o emociones como sentirse triste, cansado, enfermo o aburrido.
TODAS LAS ZONAS ESTAN OK!!!!
Las zonas se comparan a los signos de tráfico. Cuando uno tiene luz verde, se siente "listo para partir", la zona amarilla significa estar atento o tener precaución, y la zona roja significa parar o detenerse. La zona azul se compara a las zonas de descanso donde uno va para re-energizarse. Todas estas zonas son parte de nuestras experiencias cotidianas, pero este modelo de intervención se enfoca en enseñarle a los alumnos de colegios cómo reconocer y manejar sus zonas, en relación con sus contextos, demandas y las personas alrededor de ell@s.
En resumen, las zonas de regulación.......

Relacionan emociones con 4 áreas específicas

Ayudan a identificar claves corporales y lo relacionnan con zonas (respuestas fisiológicas, alerta)

Identifican factores que detonan estado de desregulación

Identifican como las emociones, pensamientos, necesidades sensoriales y fisiológicas, y el ambiente, pueden influenciar las zonas

Describen cómo se siente tu cuerpo y tus emociones durante el día

No existen zonas equivocadas, sino malas elecciones

Ayudan a comprender que existen diferentes "expectativas" de como debo comportarme en diferentes ambientes

Es un programa de intervención seguro, porque es una manera de reconocer y comunicar emociones sin ser juzgados

Ofrece consecuencias al estar en zona roja, y enfatiza que el estudiante puede tomar una mejor decisión la siguiente vez

Requiere comunicación en equipo y colaboración en casa (incluye enviar información a la casa: carta explicativa, zonas con imágenes, glosario de términos, copia de zonas en sala de clases y áreas comunes).

Gullah

Gullah, or Geechee, was created by enslaved people brought from West Africa to Charleston, S.C., who needed a common language to communicate. It allowed them to speak freely, by way of encoded speech, in the presence of those holding them in bondage.

Many common words or phrases are rooted in the Gullah language: yam (sweet potato), bubba (brother), gumbo (okra), kumbaya (come by here).

Becoming one of the 500+ million Spanish speakers worldwide takes dedication, but it's a more achievable goal than you might think. In this comprehensive guide, we will walk you through 11 expert ways to learn how to speak Spanish effectively.

Learn how to speak Spanish step-by-step

1. Learn to spell and pronounce Spanish words

Spanish words are spelled exactly how they sound which makes it much easier than English. Once you know a few basic rules, that's it - Spanish spelling and pronunciation unlocked.

For example:

The "ñ" is pronounced "nyah"

"h" is silent unless it's after a "c"

In Spain and Central America, double "l" is similar to a "y" in English, so is "pie-ey-a"

"j" is pronounced like "h" in the Scottish "loch"

"v" and "b" sound the same

In some parts of the Spanish speaking world, "z" and "c" are pronounced like "th" in the English word "bath."

Lastly, you'll need to master the rolling "r" sound at the beginning of words like (red) and in words with a double "r" like (dog).

2. Get the hang of basic vocabulary in Spanish

3. Master your grammar

4. Practice reading aloud

Reading aloud is a great way to improve your speaking because it means you can focus on pronunciation and stress without the added cognitive load of also thinking of the grammar and what you want to say.

Choose short texts to start off with and practice them until you can read them at a natural speed. You can even find someone to read to and make it even more useful.

5. Watch movies in Spanish

Spanish cinema is world-famous. But, even if you're not feeling up to the subtleties of movies by directors like Pedro Almodóvar or Guillermo del Toro, most streaming platforms will let you switch the language to Spanish.

When you're a beginner, try simple action movies without much complex dialogue. Or choose classics you've seen a bunch of times so you already know the story.

Also, using the subtitles will help you learn vocabulary and phrases in context and you'll probably find you spot the grammar you've been learning.

6. Listen to music and sing along

The best thing is that singing along to your favorite songs in Spanish is fun. And if learning's fun, you'll do it more often, so you'll get plenty of practice without feeling like you're studying.

7. Educate yourself on common mistakes

While you won't want to get hung up on every little mistake, it's worth paying attention to some of the most common errors people make when they're learning to speak Spanish.

Using false friends - Trust us, embarazada doesn't mean what you think it does and if someone says they're constipado, they just have a simple cold!

8. Immerse yourself in the language

Maybe you can't pack your bags and move to a Spanish-speaking country (though if you can, do!) . But, there are plenty of other ways to immerse yourself in the language.

As well as changing Netflix to Spanish, switch the language on your phone and laptop. Don't worry, you'll soon find your way around and you'll pick up useful vocabulary too.

Label objects and furniture around your house with post-it notes in Spanish. And best of all - talk to yourself in Spanish around the house and describe what you're doing. For example, estoy comiendo pan. (I'm eating bread.)

9. Record yourself speaking Spanish

If you have a smartphone or laptop, use it to record yourself speaking. A cool trick to improve pronunciation is to use the voice dictation feature a lot of apps have. The better your pronunciation is, the more accurately the app will transcribe what you say.

You can also use Siri or the equivalent on your device. If your instructions are clear, the virtual assistant will do what you ask!

10. Get a language buddy

The best way to learn how to talk in Spanish with confidence is to find someone to practice with. That could be someone you know who's also learning. Alternatively, you could look for someone who wants to do an intercambio - a language exchange.

There are lots of Spanish speakers who'd love to practice their English with you so it won't be hard to find someone online, or even in person.

It's not just speaking and listening that you can practice with your buddy, either. If you text or email each other, you can practice writing and reading too.

11. Remember practice makes perfect

The steps above are a great foundation for learning to speak Spanish with confidence. The only thing left to do is practice, practice, practice.

Establish a routine that means you're speaking, hearing, reading, and writing in Spanish every day and you'll see amazing progress.

And, although we say "practice makes perfect," remember, you don't need to have perfect Spanish.

Learners who don't mind if they sometimes get the grammar wrong or forget a word will make much better Spanish speakers than people who worry about mistakes.

Comparing the best methods for learning to speak Spanish

Once you've decided to commit to learning Spanish, you have to decide how to do it. Your choice will depend on factors like what's available and accessible to you. You'll also consider what best suits your lifestyle. And, of course, there's the all-important cost factor.

Here are five different ways to learn Spanish and their pros and cons.

Online tutoring

The most effective way to learn a language is from a real person, and with the convenience and flexibility of learning online, it's a no brainer. Here's what you need to consider:

Pros:

Learning how to speak Spanish with an online tutor has never been easier. With just a few clicks you can learn with a low-cost, highly qualified teacher wherever you have an internet connection.

Flexibility is a big plus. You can arrange as many classes as you need according to your budget.

You can shop around until you find a teacher who's a good match by booking a trial class before you commit. On Preply, if you don't like the first lesson with a new tutor you can try another one for free or get a full refund.

Cons:

You miss out on the dynamics of interacting with classmates in an in-person group setting.

Classroom learning

Learning Spanish in the classroom, with other students and a teacher sounds great. Here's what you need to think about:

Pros:

You'll find in-person Spanish language classes in most towns and cities where there are higher education colleges or language schools.

Classes can be a fun way to make new friends as well as learn Spanish.

Cons:

You usually have to pay up front for at least a whole semester.

Classes will be at set times and locations so might not offer the flexibility you're looking for.

Immersion learning

Fully immersing yourself in a language and culture is a fast and effective way of picking up a new language. But what are the benefits and drawbacks?

Pros:

You'll learn quickly in an environment where you'll only hear and speak Spanish.

You'll motivate yourself even more, having a real reason to use the language you've been learning.

Cons:

Living abroad in a Spanish-speaking country could be costly, especially if you want to take some classes.

It's best if you can spend a few weeks or more to fully take advantage of the experience, but not everyone can take this time off work or school.

Software and apps

Learning Spanish through apps is super convenient. But is it the best way to do it?

Pros:

There are so many great (and free!) apps for learning Spanish , you'll be spoiled for choice.

Easily squeeze in bite-sized learning chunks on your daily commute instead of scrolling Insta one more time.

Cons:

Sometimes the language in the apps isn't quite what you're interested in or need. But apps could be a great addition to your own self-study or lessons with a teacher.

Why not spend the time you'd waste watching TV on something productive, like learning Spanish?

Pros:

Once you've got a basic level, Spanish TV, radio and news sites are a great way of learning more vocabulary and expressions. The biggest newspaper in Spain is , and globally or CNN Español cover Latin America too.

Try Spain's public television and radio network for listening practice, but News in Slow Spanish gives you the chance to listen at a slowed down speed - much more manageable for beginners.

Cons:

This is hard for beginners. The vocabulary is normally a bit more formal too, which may not be what you are looking for if you want to learn informal language for chatting with friends.
