Authentic media. Active engagement.
En pantalla brings authentic Spanish-language media into every lesson through commercials, news reports, short films, and more. New and refreshed selections give students engaging opportunities to experience Spanish as it is used in real-world contexts, while vocabulary support and accompanying activities make authentic content accessible to developing speakers. For instructors, ready-to-use activities and interactive video features provide an easy way to incorporate authentic media and check comprehension.
Simpler teaching. Smarter studying.
The reimagined vText brings teaching and learning together in a redesigned, interactive, mobile-friendly experience. Instructors can move seamlessly between instructor and student views, access teaching notes, and use a focused presentation mode for class. Students benefit from personalized display preferences, enhanced study tools, and integrated audio and video—all within one intuitive learning environment.
Set expectations. Support integrity.
New assessment integrity measures reinforce expectations and accountability. Students acknowledge academic integrity requirements before beginning an assessment, while copy-and-paste prevention for open-ended responses helps reduce opportunities to use outside sources during testing.
Read. Listen. Discover meaning.
New audio-sync readings give students more opportunities to experience Spanish as they learn. Cognados en contexto presentations introduce vocabulary through theme-based readings, helping students discover meaning in context, while audio-sync Cultura readings expose students to native speaker accents and pronunciation. Together, they provide richer, contextualized language input that supports the communicative approach of Vistas.

More voices. More perspectives.
Refreshed readings, authentic video, and expanded cultural representation bring students closer to the diversity of the Spanish-speaking world. Updated Cultura, Lectura, and En pantalla content encourages students to explore cultural practices and perspectives, make comparisons, and connect language learning to real-world contexts. Expanded representation—including Equatorial Guinea and additional Afro-Caribbean voices and experiences—brings even more perspectives into the Vistas classroom.
Grammar reviewed. Spanish strengthened.
A new preliminary English grammar lesson gives students an opportunity to review key concepts—including agreement, tense, and mood—before encountering them in Spanish. Explanations and practice activities help students reinforce foundational skills and offer instructors ready-to-use support for addressing grammar knowledge students may need throughout the course.
Words that stick. Practice that works.
Updated vocabulary tools bring audio, visuals, definitions, sample sentences, and more to vocabulary. Students can hear vocabulary terms, see images or GIFs on flashcards, and encounter words in meaningful examples. New program-level controls give instructors greater flexibility to tailor vocabulary presentation and practice to the needs of their courses.
More conversation. Less pressure.
Available as an optional supplement, MyConversationTrainer provides AI-powered chat and role-play experiences for every lesson. Students practice conversation at their own pace in a low-stakes environment and receive instant feedback, creating more opportunities to develop skills and build confidence.
