The extensive use of authentic video, audio, images and texts allows for a contextualized and interactive experience with the vocabulary and linguistic structures. Courses actively engage students in completing a variety of activities, practices, tasks and assessments. Cultural information relevant to Hispanic countries and communities, and robust cross-cultural reflections are infused throughout the materials from beginning to end.
