Overview

Description

Comunidades: más allá del aula is the very first Spanish textbook with a complete Spanish community service learning curriculum. In this increasingly popular method of teaching Spanish, students spend part of their time doing substantial community service learning work within a Spanish-speaking community organization and another part of their time in the classroom.

Features

This is the book that gives today’s Spanish students exactly what they want: the challenge of learning from native-speakers of Spanish, directly participating in Latino cultures, developing their pre-professional skills and contributing something positive to society within the security of a clear, safe and tested curriculum that fosters their success.

The instructor’s manual guides the instructor through the process of creating and maintaining community partnerships, the textbook gives the students the language skills, cultural knowledge and professional competencies that they need to be of successful service in the community, and the diario prompts ask students to reflect on their experiences in the community in both written and video diarios.
