abstract = {The present paper assesses the effect of incorporating a service-learning
component into a Spanish Education class. Twenty Ohio University students participated
in the study. The students organized a one-day Spanish pronunciation workshop with a
group of High School students from an underserved, rural area. In general, the college
students evaluated the experience very positively. Their main satisfaction derived from
being able to apply their knowledge while reaching out to the community. However,
they also reported difficulties adapting their teaching materials and organizing themselves
efficiently. They felt the role of their instructor was decisive in the success of their
project.},
