Overview

This exciting program has been selected for upper-level secondary school classes across the country.  Imagina includes award-winning Cortometrajes and integrated four-skill content, all within an unprecedented cultural experience for students. Each lesson takes students on a "voyage" to a Spanish-speaking country or region through TV clips, literary and cultural readings, and spotlights on important cultural figures from movie stars to Nobel Prize winners. Students and teachers alike will appreciate the innovative design that facilitates language learning through the use of self-contained sections that appear either completely on one page or on spreads of two facing pages. Imagina also includes:

  • An abundance of illustrations, photos, charts, and diagrams enhance visualization, explain grammar concepts, and keep students focused and motivated
  • Manual de Gramática, located in the back of the book, which builds on structures introduced within each lesson and provides additional concepts with practice for review or enrichment
  • A rich vocabulary base prepares students to communicate and interact with people from various Spanish-speaking countries and regions
  • Supersite Logo Multimedia and web integration that enhances the user-friendly format; rich and thought-provoking content which is carefully delivered in a variety of electronic formats
  • vText Logo  vText, the interactive, online version of the student edition
