It presents vocabulary and grammar as tools for effective personalized communication as it develops students’ listening, reading, writing, and speaking skills.

Getting to know VistasLive S4
Vistas offers features that make it truly different from other programs based on these same principles. Here are some of our distinguishing features: • Vistas was the first program to cohesively integrate a dramatic video into the student text to model target structures. The goal of the Fotonovela is to motivate and inspire the next generation of Spanish students. • Vistas was also the first introductory college Spanish program to incorporate graphic design— layout, use of colors, typefaces, and other graphic elements—as an integral part of the learning process. To enhance learning and make navigation easy, lesson sections are color-coded. • Vistas offers student sidebars with on-the-spot linguistic, cultural, and language-learning information. • Vistas provides a unique four-part practice sequence for virtually every grammar point. It moves from form-focused ¡Inténtalo! exercises to directed, yet meaningful, Práctica exercises to communicative, interactive Comunicación activities, and lastly to cumulative, open-ended Síntesis activities. • Vistas also offers two cultural videos, Flash cultura and Panorama cultural, as well as authentic TV clips and short films in En pantalla.

New Assessment Integrity Measures The following measures for ensuring assessment integrity have been added: • Academic Integrity acknowledgment required before starting an assessment • Copy-and-paste prevention for open-ended assessment responses These measures promote academic integrity by reinforcing expectations before assessments begin and reducing opportunities to use outside sources during testing.

The cast Here are the main characters you will meet in the Fotonovela video: Fotonovela From Venezuela, Olga Lucía Pérez Soto From Spain, Manuel Vázquez Quevedo From Spain, Valentina Herrera Torres From Spain, Sara Sánchez Vázquez From the Dominican Republic, Juan José (Juanjo) Reyes Peña From Spain, Daniel Acosta Campos The Fotonovela video is a dynamic and contemporary window into the Spanish language. The video centers around a group of friends in Madrid, Spain. Manuel, Juanjo (short for Juan José), Valentina, and Olga Lucía are college students who live in the same apartment building. Manuel's cousin Sara also lives there with her father, Paco, the landlord. Her friend Daniel completes the group. Manuel, Valentina, Sara, don Paco, and Daniel are all from Spain. Juanjo hails from the Dominican Republic. Olga Lucía is a native of Venezuela. Their adventures take them through some of the greatest natural and cultural treasures of the Spanish-speaking world, as well as the highs and lows of everyday life. The Fotonovela section in each lesson is actually an abbreviated version of the dramatic episode featured in the video. Therefore, each Fotonovela section can be done before you see the corresponding video episode, after it, or as a section that stands alone. In each dramatic segment, the characters interact using the vocabulary and grammar you are studying. As the storyline unfolds, the episodes combine new vocabulary and grammar with previously taught language, exposing you to a variety of authentic accents along the way. At the end of each episode, the Resumen section highlights the grammar and vocabulary you are studying. We hope you find the Fotonovela video to be an engaging and useful tool for learning Spanish!

En pantalla VistasLive on Supersite features an authentic video for each lesson. Formats include commercials, news reports, and even short films. These videos have been carefully chosen to be comprehensible for students learning Spanish, and are accompanied by activities and vocabulary lists to facilitate understanding. More importantly, though, these clips are a fun and motivating way to improve your Spanish! Here are the countries represented in each lesson in En pantalla: Flash cultura In the dynamic Flash cultura video, young people from all over the Spanish-speaking world share aspects of life in their countries with you. The similarities and differences among Spanish-speaking countries that come up through their adventures will challenge you to think about your own cultural practices and values. The segments provide valuable cultural insights as well as linguistic input; the episodes will introduce you to a variety of accents and vocabulary as they gradually move into Spanish. Panorama cultural The Panorama cultural video provides visuals for the four Panorama paragraphs about the featured country.
