New Features and Technology Interactive Videos with Integrated Viewing Activities Students can check their comprehension with integrated viewing activities as they watch the short films. Intermediate Interactive Grammar Tutorials New Interactive Grammar Tutorials feature la profesora , an amusing character who grabs students’ attention with her lighthearted approach to grammar. The tutorials entertain and inform by pairing grammar rules with fun explanations and examples. La profesora always uses the new grammar in a humorous way at the end of each tutorial. Each tutorial has one or two Quick Checks, which are pauses in the instruction to give students a chance to react to what has just been presented. It’s a way to make sure they understand one concept before tackling the next one. It’s also a way to make the tutorial interactive and keep students interested and engaged throughout it. Formats include multiple choice, sorting, fill in the blank, and ordering sentence elements. La profesora may also guide the Quick Check by having students listen to cues and give the answer orally. Each tutorial features a Repaso section at the end that summarizes what students have learned. These interactive grammar tutorials are a handy reference tool and support independent study. 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. IAE-29 NEW FEATURES S-3
