Description
Using a content-based, student-centered approach, Mundo 21 emphasizes communication, pair and group work, learning in context, and critical-thinking skills.Except for the grammar explanations, the text is written entirely in Spanish, exposing students on a consistent basis to natural language. Offering a grammar manual written entirely in Spanish, Mundo 21, Edicion alternativa, is suitable for heritage learner courses as well as for courses conducted in Spanish.Intended to broaden students' cultural competency, Mundo 21, 2/e, is organized around eight geographically oriented units covering the world' s 21 Spanish-speaking countries and diverse Hispanic populations. In addition, each lesson (three per unit) contains a cultural vignette followed by a short exercise.Vivid photographs of people, places, and art work illustrate each lesson to enrich students' experience with Hispanic culture. Images accompanying each Lectura provide important clues and context to heighten comprehension.The Gente del Mundo 21 section at the beginning of the lessons profiles three noteworthy personalities in the arts, literature, sports, and the entertainment industry of the country featured.Each Del pasado al presente reading provides a brief historical and cultural overview of the country under study, accompanied by an A ver si comprendiste! activity.Each unit contains a literary reading in Y ahora, a leer!, accompanied by an extensive pre-reading apparatus, Anticipando la lectura; post-reading support, Comprendiste la lectura? which checks comprehension and encourages analysis and discussion; a new feature, Introduccion al analisis literario; and an additional creativewriting activity.Cultura en vivo sections provide a cultural context for the thematic, interactive vocabulary sections, Mejoremos la comunicacion. A conversar! sections reinforce the new vocabulary through pair and group activities. Palabras claves sections focus on a key word from the Cultura en vivo reading and prompt student interaction with the vocabulary.Escribamos ahora sections, appearing at the end of Lesson 2 in each unit, provide an innovative process approach to developing writing skills and organizational techniques that helps students produce a well-developed composition.An end-of-text Manual de gramatica, cross-referenced to the text and designed for independent study, offers review and practice of the grammatical structures in meaningful contexts.Supported by Luz! Camara! Accion! sections in the text, the 60-minute Mundo 21 Video offers authentic footage, documentaries, travelogues, music, and other cultural features from various regions of the Hispanic world.Exploremos el ciberespacio sections at the end of each lesson direct students to the Mundo 21 Web Site, which features web-search activities, auto-correcting self-tests, and a resources section for additional research.
