Primer curso de lengua española
Protagonistas, Third Edition, takes a unique approach to beginning Spanish and is explicitly driven by the goal of cultivating students’ intercultural communication skills. Each lesson introduces students to a protagonista, an individual from the Spanish-speaking world, who is the basis for exploring aspects of culture and daily life, all the while modeling language.
This fresh approach imparts cultural and linguistic information to students not as ends in and of themselves, but as the means to an end: communication. Because of its immediacy, relevance, and authenticity, the Protagonistas' approach keeps the goal of intercultural communicative competence in clear view.
