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.

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.

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.
