Dicho y hecho, 10th Edition
Beginning Spanish
Dicho y hecho is an introductory Spanish program fully informed by research in second language acquisition and teaching methodology. It focuses on structured input-processing and output-based activities and tasks for meaningful and authentic communication. Dicho y hecho is a truly communicative program with no drill activities, requiring students to negotiate meaning.
What sets this program apart?
Thematic units in each chapter present a selection of varied, practical, and high-frequency vocabulary in visual and written contexts. Activities range from identification in the chapter-opening art scenes and other input-based exercises (e.g., categorizing, associations, etc.), to personal expression and situational conversations that require use of the new vocabulary, resulting in effective acquisition of new words.
In Dicho y hecho, students are encouraged to develop cultural awareness by discovering connections and making cross-cultural comparisons. Real-life stories personalize the intertwining of cultures and invite learners to reflect on their own cultural perspectives.
