Overview
Ideal for a two-semester intermediate Spanish sequence, meeting up to 5 hours per week, the two volumes of Ventanas are linked by grammar structures, vocabulary, and high-interest themes that serve to promote critical thinking and classroom discussion.
- Ventanas: Lengua the grammar text, focuses on developing students' overall linguistic skills and cultural competency.
- Ventanas: Lecturas the literary and cultural reader, emphasizes the development of students' reading and critical-thinking skills through systematic practice, a wide variety of literary and cultural readings, and the integration of short, contemporary feature films.
These two volumes may be used together or independently to meet a variety of course objectives.
