Diverse Media Sparks Connection
The Sixth Edition of Imagina features new authentic materials to deepen student engagement and cultural insight. Three new short films (Cortometrajes), two literary readings, and three Cultura en pantalla TV clips immerse learners in real-world scenarios, making language learning practical and impactful. These rich, varied resources promote contextualized language use, encourage curiosity, and support lasting language development by connecting classroom learning to contemporary Hispanic voice and experiences.
Powerful Cortometrajes—crafted by award-winning Hispanic filmmakers—anchor each lesson and draw students into compelling narratives. Fully integrated with the lesson's vocabulary, grammar, and cultural themes, these short films spark interest and highlight the diversity of voices and dialects across the Spanish-speaking world.
Cultural Resources Deepen Understanding
Imagina's new cultural content offers students rich, original materials designed to deepen their understanding of the Spanish-speaking world. Through two new cultural readings, eight profiles in Galería de creadores, and eight cultural texts, learners explore key products, practices, and perspectives that shape Hispanic cultures. These curated resources promote cultural thinking and foster lifelong cultural awareness, helping students contextualize language within diverse cultural frameworks.
Interculturality Through Reflection
This edition introduces new interculturality activities designed to promote cultural competence and critical reflection. These ¿Qué aprendiste? activities invite students to engage with the themes from Imagina and Galería de Creadores sections—such as identity, food, and celebrations—through the lens of their own communities and experiences. By drawing comparisons and making personal connections, students gain deeper insight into interculturality and the rich diversity within and across cultures.
