Elevate Learning with Captivating Films
Revista, seventh edition, has been updated with two new Cortometrajes featuring content that is more interesting and engaging for students. These films provide fresh, culturally rich perspectives that enhance listening comprehension and spark meaningful classroom discussions.
Engage with Real-World Proyectos
Each lesson in Revista includes Proyectos that encourage students to use Spanish creatively through engaging, hands-on tasks. These video presentation– or chat-based projects will focus on oral communication and will require collaboration, critical thinking, negotiation, and presentation skills.
With guiding questions, illustrative examples, and editable online rubrics, the web-exclusive Proyectos streamline grading for instructors and foster lifelong learning by prompting students to research, create, and reflect, while also providing a portfolio for tracking their development.
Explore Fresh Reads and Comics
The seventh edition of Revista introduces three new Lecturas and one new Tira Cómica, offering more engaging and up-to-date content for students. These additions ensure a gender-balanced selection of authors and feature diverse genres that serve as springboards for lively class discussions.
Each Lectura is visually captivating and includes glosses for unfamiliar words, making reading more accessible. The Tira Cómica offers clever insights into lesson themes, with activities designed to spark thoughtful conversation and enhance comprehension.
Streamline Assessments with Assignable IPAs and Rubrics
Revista now offers assignable Integrated Performance Assessments (IPAs) based on the short film from the lesson with detailed rubrics, providing students with exposure to authentic sources and real-world tasks. These assessments engage students in all three modes of communication—interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational—allowing for a comprehensive language-learning experience.
Clear rubrics outline expectations, making it easier for students to understand their goals, and the ability to assign assessments online offers instructors greater flexibility and a wider range of evaluation options.
Transform Learning with Interactive vText and Media
Revista introduces an interactive HTML-based vText with embedded media, designed for a more streamlined and engaging learning experience. With simplified navigation and a searchable menu, students can easily access audio and video directly from the vText page.
Enhanced highlighting and annotation tools make studying more interactive, while adaptive content ensures a seamless experience across different devices. The split-screen view allows students to engage with page content and activity content side-by-side, enhancing their understanding and retention.
