Each lesson introduces students to a protagonista—an individual from the Spanish-speaking world—and the protagonista is the basis for exploring aspects of culture and daily life while modeling language. • Project-based learning (PBL): Tarea final activities provide students with an initial approach to PBL. They will find a challenging problem or task to face in pairs or groups. This way, they have the opportunity to inquire, research, reflect, analyze, and present their work as they apply the lesson structures and vocabulary in meaningful, real-life situations. • Language presented at point-of-use: Vocabulary and grammatical structures are presented through multiple contact points, from immediate, hands-on examples to complete and contextualized explanations. • Support for interculturality: Interculturality is supported by the addition of ACTFL Standards and CEFR correlations for specific activities on the same page or spread so that instructors can see them at point of use, along with annotations related to cultural content and communicative goals.

Protagonistas’ approach to the linguistic aspects of interaction is both communicative and functional-notional. This text emphasizes task-driven communication within meaningful, pragmatic contexts of everyday life. The four skills are taught through a series of short, interactive activities. —Stacy Amling, Des Moines Area Community College It’s a unique book, based in the functional approach with culture as a central component. I feel strongly that the approach in Protagonistas is better suited to helping students actually learn and acquire the ability to use their language skills in the real world. INTRODUCTORY SPANISH
