Aventuras en los países hispanos You may choose to use the Panorama cultural videos to present one or more of the culture paragraphs in each Aventuras en los países hispanos section. Play the video without sound and have students comment on the images. Play the video with the sound on; point out the pronunciation of certain words and have students raise their hand every time they hear a familiar word as they watch the video. Videoclip Aventuras also features an authentic clip (commercials, news stories, and a cooking show) for each lesson. With clips from all over the Spanish-speaking world, students are exposed to authentic issues, products, practices, accents, and humor. These clips were not developed by Vista Higher Learning and do not have controlled language as other video programs do. However, with integrated in-text support in Gramática and additional support on the Supersite, working with these clips should be a motivating and rewarding experience for students. If assigned as homework, encourage students to watch the clips two or three times to maximize comprehension. When showing the clips in class, be sure to explain any lexical particularities students may encounter. If you have heritage speakers in your class from the source country, invite them to point out variations in accent and lexicon to the class. Encourage your students to find similar clips to share with the class. The Aventuras, Flash cultura, and Panorama cultural video programs and Videoclips are available with subtitles in Spanish and English. Aventuras, Seventh Edition, has supporting materials and comprehension checks in the student book and/or on the Supersite. You can use Flash cultura to preview the reading in Cultura, or to expand on it. You can also use this video out of sequence and present it with Aventuras en los países hispanos as different countries and regions are featured. Or you can use these episodes to jump-start research projects and presentations. Because you have the flexibility to show the video in class or assign it as homework, the options for using the video are endless. IAE-39 S37
