EntreCulturas

The EntreCulturas program is all about teaching novice through intermediate learners the Spanish language through the lens of interculturality, so they can discover appropriate ways to interact and connect with others whose perspectives may be different from their own.

EntreCulturas 1A & 1B

Levels 1A and 1B of our popular and effective EntreCulturas series are designed for middle school students. The two books begin building the language skills, personal attitudes, and cultural insights necessary to experience life "entre culturas," using Spanish to connect with people. Students learn grammar and vocabulary both inductively and deductively.

EntreCulturas 1

In Level 1 of the four-book EntreCulturas series, students build the language skills, personal attitudes, and cultural insights necessary to experience life "entre culturas," using Spanish to connect with people.

EntreCulturas 2

Level 2 of the four-book EntreCulturas series recycles grammar, vocabulary, and culture with the content introduced and practiced in Level 1, and leverages communicative practice and comprehensible input strategies so learners can acquire new vocabulary and grammar in context.

EntreCulturas 3

Level 3 presents project-based learning and rigorous tasks that hone learners’ skills. Learners will have the opportunity to engage with authentic texts and literature, experience IPAs with all modes of communication, and more, all while encompassing elements of AP® skills.

EntreCulturas 4

Level 4 increases the rigor and frequency of vocabulary and grammar exploration, engages learners with deeper levels of communicative inquiry and literature, and prepares learners for advanced AP® or IB level study.

EntreCultures

The standards-based EntreCultures program is all about teaching French language and culture to novice through intermediate learners through the lens of interculturality. Students discover appropriate ways to interact with a variety of perspectives by exploring the lives of teens across the francophone world.

Chiarissimo

Engage your students in the discovery of the language, the people, the land, and the culture of Italy, with Chiarissimo Uno e Due. Each chapter of this two-book series introduces different regions of Italy and asks novice-low to intermediate-low students to explore aspects of culture such as values and traditions.

Chiarissimo Uno

In Chiarissimo Uno, every chapter introduces a different region of Italy—the people, the land, and the culture—and asks students to explore aspects of culture such as values and traditions.

Chiarissimo Due

With a focus on communication, Chiarissimo Due, the second book in our Italian series, further develops students’ abilities to ask and answer questions and to exchange opinions and ideas on a diversity of topics using a variety of different tenses.

This is my 49th year in education. EntreCulturas provides multiple spontaneous conversation opportunities for students, and teachers are able to look at something and immediately go from there with it - and perhaps even do the types of things they used to have to do on their own. EntreCulturas is the only series that I know of that provides that kind of material for kids to begin to speak with each other naturally. It's set up the way that I've always been striving to teach.

Deborah Doyle

Spanish Teacher, MFLA, Maryland

Wayside Publishing not only provides high-quality teaching materials, but they are a great company to work with. Their generosity and support in sponsoring the non-profit Manie Musicale Collaborative have been incredible. I highly recommend their personable and helpful staff.

"I was really impressed to see in the "C'est drôle, l'école" chapter the "chosir sa voi de formation" chart, the sample report card, as well as the examples of how American grades correspond roughly to French grades. I have never seen such good realia anywhere else."

Ruth Ann G.

French 4-AP Teacher, Tennessee

"Neue Blickwinkel touches on themes of interest to my teens. The vocabulary is divided into function and color is used throughout. (I am a big advocate of color in learning, as it helps the whole brain become engaged.) It's not too large a text but functions in themes that I use (and that the AP reading/listening themes often use as well). There are ample opportunities for students to research more deeply a theme that interests them and because the reading texts are interesting, to improve their reading comprehension as well as their vocabulary."

Janey Haynes

"[APprenons] has a wealth of material and ways of working with it that would appeal to high school students. Vocabulary is much more actively taught in APprenons than in the program I am using currently...and it needs to be! I love the way the grammar is presented, both the structures taught, and the way they are integrated with the theme and the task at hand. The documents included in the 2nd education would be very motivating for high school students. One example is in the technology chapter where students complete a grid charting their own use of technology in preparation for a reading. I like the use of graphs and tables throughout."
