Level 1 / Novice Low — Novice High
Overview
In Level 1 of this four-book series, students build 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.
The EntreCulturas program is all about teaching novice to intermediate students the Spanish language through the lens of interculturality, so they can discover appropriate ways to interact with others whose perspectives may be different from their own.
The focus of assessment in EntreCulturas 1 measures what students can do with the language they have learned through IPAs. Analytic and holistic rubrics accompany this textbook, so teachers can stay on track.
The educator-author team considered a variety of learner and educator styles in the backward design of the series. The program integrates all of the 2017 ACTFL World-Readiness Standards and aligns with or exceeds every state's language standards. We have included IB® and AP® task types and themes, yes, even in Level 1, without compromising on our commitment to empowering each learner to communicate in the real world. Units are clearly organized, with ample print and online support for both you and your learners. And with our Instructional Strategies Toolkit, the support offered in the textbook and on Learning Site®, a constantly growing community of proficiency practitioners, and on-demand support in our Support Center, you and your students are able to get the help you need, anytime, anywhere.
