¡VIVA! - PROGRAM SAMPLER

IAE-34 VIDEO PROGRAMS Flash cultura The dynamic Flash cultura video is fully integrated into the Exploración section of each lesson and into your Video Manual. Shot in eight countries (U.S., Puerto Rico, Mexico, Spain, Argentina, Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Peru), these contemporary and engaging episodes expand on the lesson themes. Each episode is hosted by a correspondent from the featured country; the host provides valuable information about a tradition, event, resource, or other aspect of the country’s culture and talks to the locals to get their opinions. The episodes are entirely in Spanish as of Lección 7 , but all lessons feature real interviews in Spanish, exposing you to the diverse and authentic accents of the Spanish-speaking world. Support materials in the text, on the Supersite, and in the Video Manual make these interviews accessible. We hope you enjoy Flash cultura, ¡el programa donde aprender es toda una aventura! TV Clip The ¡Viva! Supersite features an authentic TV Clip from the Spanish-speaking world in every lesson. Clip formats include commercials and news stories. These clips have been carefully chosen to be comprehensible for students learning Spanish, and are accompanied by activities and vocabulary lists to facilitate understanding. Developed by Spanish speakers for Spanish speakers, they offer another valuable window into the products, practices, and perspectives that are key to the cultures of the Spanish-speaking world. More importantly, though, these clips are a fun and motivating way to improve your Spanish!
