Señor Mercer
Living in Costa Rica for a year, the Dominican Republic for a semester and long term trips to Nicaragua, Ecuador, Cuba, El Salvador and other Latin American countries showed Chris a side of the world he would never forget. He has made three documentary films and published four Spanish language novels for students learning Spanish: Todo lo que brilla, an adventure romance about small scale gold miners in Ecuador and Casa Dividida, an action packed drama based on the Cuban Revolution and its aftermath, Niños en la Calle, and ¡Yanga!
His fascinating, sometimes harrowing, adventures in Latin America have become the basis for his dynamic, rich teaching style that includes music, dance, film, technology and the cutting edge TPRS language instruction method.
Señor Mercer is excited about sharing his passion for Latin America with the ultimate goal of creating a new generation of bilingual, global citizens who take on the challenges of the 21st Century with a strong foundation of cultural understanding, confidence and language proficiency.
