Nuevos mundos, 4th Edition

Lectura, cultura y comunicación Curso de español para bilingües

Nuevos mundos is an exciting program for Heritage Spanish speakers, revised to match Vista Higher Learning’s standards for student engagement and online learning. Nuevos mundos engages students with cultural and literary readings as well as video and audio that gets them excited about their shared background, culture, and home language of Spanish. Activities, both in print and on the Nuevos mundos Supersite, compel students to express themselves in Spanish by working in pairs and groups to discuss their identities, communities, life experiences, and everyday realities with their peers. Online Workbook activities review and develop students’ knowledge of standard written Spanish, allowing them to become stronger readers and writers of the language.

What sets Nuevos mundos apart?

Authentic literary texts, articles, and author created cultural texts with topics relevant to heritage students’ lives motivate them to express themselves in pair and group work inside and outside the classroom, all while learning about the history and background behind the diverse groups of U.S. Hispanics.

El arte de ser bilingüe allows Heritage students to express themselves in Spanish with their peers on stimulating and meaningful topics that compel them to examine their linguistic and cultural identities. Extended assignments allow heritage students to become creative with Spanish and to carry out real-world tasks in a functional capacity.
