Communicate, Explore, and Connect Across Cultures

Level 3 / Intermediate Low — Intermediate Mid

Overview

EntreCulturas is a four-level, standards-based, thematically organized program. Each level consists of six units that provide learners with opportunities to interact and engage with authentic materials and adolescent speakers of the language. By learning in an intercultural context, students acquire communication skills and content knowledge while exploring the products, practices, and perspectives of Spanish-speaking cultures.

EntreCulturas 3

EntreCulturas prepares learners to communicate, explore, and connect across cultures in order to foster attitudes of mutual understanding and respect. Level 3 of the four-book EntreCulturas series provides project-based learning and engaging 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. The proficiency level spans from Intermediate Low to Intermediate Mid.

"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."

As the World Languages Coordinator for Tulsa Public Schools, EntreCulturas and EntreCultures are my top textbook choices for Spanish and French.

The activities in EntreCulturas are so adaptable. You can look at the group of students in front of you in the classroom and ask, "how much do I want to extend this activity, and what are my learners getting out of it?" and if they're getting a lot out of it, I continue. If they're not, there are endless additional activities that will resonate and can be adjusted to the needs of learners in your classroom using techniques that are already in our toolbag as teachers.

"Other texts claim to use culture as a vehicle for learning the target language. So, the primary question is: Does EntreCulturas succeed in presenting L2 language learning through an authentic lens of the cultures of Spanish-speaking people from countries that offer an incredible amount of diversity in language, food, history, folklore and race?

The answer is yes! EntreCulturas 1 has succeeded with the integration of a culture-based presentation with Spanish language acquisition. Students learn by immersion into a cultural experience of Spanish-speaking natives and are then able to discuss their findings in class through authentic dialog.

Another question arises: Will this be another text with chapters that attempt to cover so much vocabulary, grammar, culture, and text-generated conversation that the instructor has to choose how much to leave out?

No! The presentation is not so ambitious that it presents time limitations. The model and “real” classroom presentation are a perfect fit."

“In my [college] Spanish education classes, I have reviewed the Wayside Publishing materials for the purpose of showing students examples of textbooks that get it right.”
