Overview

Welcome to Protagonistas, the introductory Spanish program that employs a communicative, functional approach. Protagonistas emphasizes meaningful, task-based communication in an appealing format that will engage and motivate introductory students.

  • Each lesson presents practical communicative functions and engages students in activities that encourage them to think, communicate, and apply what they are learning to their own lives.
  • Presents the four skills through short, interactive activities.
  • Develops students' understanding of Spanish-speaking cultures in order to support and enhance cross-cultural communication.
  • Presents grammar in context of the lesson’s communicative functions, with a layout that includes diagrams, charts, and examples.
  • Recycles each lesson's language and functions through a Protagonistas section—an engaging section that presents main characters and communities from across the Spanish-speaking world.
  • Provides students with a full grammar appendix—a perfect reference tool for the grammar introduced throughout Protagonistas.
  • Supersite Logo Protagonistas Supersite supports students with auto-graded activities from the book, extra practice (including record-compare activities), voiceboards for oral communication and threaded discussion and more
  • vText provides an interactive, online version of the textbook—perfect for hybrid courses!
