What does a Spanish professor do?

As a Spanish professor, you teach students to read, write, and speak the language. Most college and university-level classes also focus on learning more about the history of the Spanish language and the area of the world that it hails from. For each course, your duties and responsibilities vary but may include facilitating, moderating, and initiating classroom discussions, evaluating, planning, and revising curricula, and assisting other professors in the department. You also determine the course materials and content as well as the methods that you use to teach your students. Performing research is also a necessary component of pursuing this career, especially if you work at a university seeking tenure track.
