Description
- Overview:
- Informed by adult learning theory and social-justice pedagogy, this new OER program focuses on authentic communicative content that is meaningful to students. Its structure supports the needs of inexperienced teaching assistants while also providing flexibility for more experienced instructors. Students are coached about language acquisition, with explicit focus on Interpretive, Interpersonal, and Presentational communication skills. Culture is omnipresent, with OER resources that have been selected with great attention to whose voices are being heard. Representation and inclusion are guiding principles, and tokenism is rejected.

This first-year Spanish textbook is excellent! We have adopted it at our university (Pacific University, Oregon) and are very pleased with it. We also have used it as a model to create an OER textbook for our Spanish 202 (Intermediate II) course. Thank you authors for a fabulous textbook that is student-focused, extremely well-organized (with great grammar explanations) and that aligns with the most recent ACTFL standards.
