Riassunto

Students of Introductory Spanish learn best when they are connecting with authentic culture, with each other as a community, and with the language as used in real-world settings. "Conectate" sparks the curiosity that builds these connections as students drive toward communicative and cultural confidence and proficiency. The "Conectate" program s distinctive approach is built around the following principles. Focused approach: "Conectate" concentrates on what Introductory Spanish students can reasonably be expected to learn, allowing for sustained engagement with the material that respects the natural process of language acquisition. An intentional focus, first on meaning and then on form, puts in action the best practices of second language pedagogy. Plus, "Conectate s" reduced grammar scope leaves more time for the systematic review and recycling of vocabulary and grammar required for students to achieve mastery of first-year skills. Fortifying this process at every turn is LearnSmart, a powerful, super-adaptive learning program that guides students on an individualized path toward mastery of all the vocabulary and grammar in "Conectate." Active learning: "Conectate" gives students the opportunity to explore language and culture through interactive activities that keep them focused and engaged. Vocabulary and grammar in "Conectate" are taught using an active learning approach, nudging students to discover new vocabulary and language rules through a carefully balanced mix of inductive and explicit presentations and hands-on learning. Students are similarly asked to take an active role in an immersive online game, "Practice Spanish: Study Abroad," designed around a study abroad experience in which they leverage their language and cultural skills to accomplish tasks and solve problems in various real-world scenarios. Integration of culture: Building on the active learning theme, students develop and apply critical thinking skills as they draw personal conclusions about
