Experience Spanish: Un mundo sin límites, presents vocabulary and grammar in action through culture. With emphasis on the 5C’s, the Experience Spanish program delivers dynamic opportunities for communicative practice in all course delivery formats built upon the following principles: Culture is core...: Culture is infused throughout the program. The students’ cultural experience and exposure is not limited to special cultural sections, but rather embedded in presentations as well as in vocabulary and grammar practice. The dedicated cultural sections are rich and varied: Entrada cultural, Expresiones artísticas, Notas culturales, Notas interdisciplinarias, Lectura cultural, Concurso de videoblogs, Conexiones culturales en vivo, and Conexiones culturales. These readings, videos, notes, and fine art presentations offer students extensive cultural perspectives and promote cross-cultural comparisons and connections. Language in action: Vocabulary in Experience Spanish is presented visually through colorful, engaging illustrations, and put into action with personal and communicative activities. Grammar points are introduced with contextualized short dialogues or cultural readings that immediately illustrate the concepts inaction, allowing students to experience the structures in context before focusingon the forms and rules.
