Facetas, 6th Edition

What sets this program apart?

Facetas provides intermediate Spanish students with an active learning experience as they strengthen their language skills and develop their cultural competency. Twelve theme-based lessons offer engaging media—an original video series Fotonovela and a variety of authentic short films from Spanish-speaking countries—plus literary and cultural readings. This edition is built to encourage real communication in meaningful contexts, while developing and consolidating students’ speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. The program also stresses cultural competency, which plays an integral role in language learning. Perfect for that one-semester intermediate Spanish course.

New to this edition:

• A Proyecto, which incorporates a theme-based project into every lesson
• Fotonovela videos that follow a family in Oaxaca, Mexico and explore both language and relationships in an engaging way
• News and Cultural Updates section added to the Supersite provides authentic news articles or video clips that are added monthly, with activities to support comprehension, analysis, and reflection
• Group Chat and Individual Recording Activities allow single or multiple students to record a video activity
• Effortlessly customize any assessment with the NEW Assessment Builder and Question Bank
