Teaching and Learning Experience

·    Realistic and Balanced Approach -- Instructors and students don't have to spend valuable class time on structures that only need a quick review.  They can focus more on practical communication and less on explanations which helps students feel more motivated and successful in the course.  

·    Explore Grammar -- Grammar is chunked to allow students to review fundamental grammar points as needed and assimilate and practice new ones without feeling overwhelmed.  Explanations are clear and concise and include many supporting examples followed by practice activities. 

·    Build Vocabulary -- Each chapter contains a realistic number of new and core vocabulary words and like grammar, is presented in chunks at the point of need.  

·    Develop Skills -- Unique reading and video storyline mystery, exclusively online, motivates students to read.  Dedicated speaking, listening and writing sections provide strategies and the process necessary to effectively develop skills in the target language.  

·    Connect with Culture - Both "high" and "popular" culture are woven throughout the chapters, online and in print, to enable students to learn to recognize and appreciate cultural diversity as they explore behaviors and values of the Spanish-speaking world. They are encouraged to think critically about these cultural practices and gifts to society.
