Why PROYECTOS?
- PROYECTOS brings a contemporary view of Hispanic cultures to the Spanish classroom through engaging texts, themes, and topics: students are motivated to act and create in Spanish!
- PROYECTOS, with communication as the goal, presents grammar and vocabulary in comprehensible chunks: students are truly capable of speaking and producing in Spanish!
- PROYECTOS presents groundbreaking content and language integration. Students use the language in interdisciplinary scenarios related to their own academic experiences, which helps them develop professional skills and prepare for future careers.
- PROYECTOS promotes intercultural competence, enabling critical thinking about essential questions from a multidimensional, contemporary, and inclusive perspective that is free of stereotypes.
- PROYECTOS offers an inclusive perspective on learning. Its approach makes it open to all learners and all types of intelligences (visual, linguistic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, etc.). In addition, its vision of cultural realities, diverse and free of stereotypes, embraces all the identities and communities of the Hispanic world—and of the students' world as well.
- PROYECTOS allows for flipped classroom dynamics, which optimizes class time. Students can prepare independently before coming in order to maximize classroom communication and collaboration.
- PROYECTOS is the product of authentic student-centered design. Students acquire the vocabulary they need to communicate in the real world, learn grammar actively, and create projects in which they talk about their communities and experiences. They take an active leading role in their own learning, and have fun in the process!

Unique features
Among its many new features, we would like to draw your attention to a particular resource that sets PROYECTOS apart from other programs: textos mapeados and textos locutados available in different varieties of Spanish.
Textos mapeados
These texts have been transformed into “roadmaps” for students with the following three elements highlighted and color-coded:
- Frequently-used word combinations and phrases
- Common connectors and discourse markers
- Structures that contain verbs, nouns, and adjectives with prepositions
By using this feature, students can exercise the recognition, acquisition and production of a linguistic repertoire that goes beyond simple words, allowing them to communicate with greater fluency and accuracy from the very beginning.
Textos locutados
These texts are read aloud by Spanish-speakers in four different varieties of Spanish: from Colombia, Mexico, Spain, and the Caribbean (Puerto Rico and Cuba).
This feature allows students to listen to the text while they read along, listen after they have read the text themselves, or practice and check their own Spanish pronunciation, among many other possibilities.
