Refuerzo de vocabulario There is a new summative vocabulary activity in the Repaso section of the Supersite in which students identify and say the terms illustrated by photos. Speech recognition lets students know if they are correct. Video Virtual Chats Video Virtual Chat activities provide students with opportunities to develop their listening and speaking skills and to build confidence as they practice with video recordings of native speakers. Unlike other listening activities where students can easily pause and repeat, Video Virtual Chats require them to answer questions in real time—just as they do when they engage in conversations with fluent speakers in the target language. Students also benefit from nonverbal and articulatory cues that are essential for production and pronunciation. Video Virtual Chats are available in about half of the A conversar sections of Preparación and of the Conversación sections of Gramática . Pronunciation Tutorials with Speech Recognition Pronunciation tutorials allow students to engage with the material via interactive quick checks throughout each tutorial. Interactive feedback via embedded Speech Recognition gives students an opportunity to reflect on their language patterns and increases their awareness of pronunciation through low-stakes production practice. 3
