Tu mundo immerses the Introductory Spanish classroom in a culturally rich world full of opportunities to discover and explore the powerful connections between language and culture. Instructors are provided user-friendly resources to guide students as they dive into intensive communicative practice, building confidence in their ability to interact in meaningful ways in Spanish. Instructors are also provided with the tools to build a sense of community in face-to-face, hybrid, and online classes, resulting in a unique personal experience that evolves organically and sparks a natural curiosity about their world.

The hallmarks of Tu mundo are:

Communicative and Flexible: Tu mundo is designed to work well with a variety of communicative approaches. The goal is to provide an ideal environment where acquisition can take place, without fear of making mistakes. By jumping directly into communicative practice, students immerse themselves in the experience of active learning. This involves preparing at home using a variety of learning resources, prepping the necessary vocabulary and grammar in advance, and then coming to class ready to engage in conversation.

Consistency and Performance: Tu mundo offers a dynamic adaptive learning tool called Adaptive Learning Assignments that focus students on the grammar and vocabulary they haven’t yet mastered, filling the gaps to prepare them for in-class communication.

Community and Connections: Whether in a physical classroom or in an online course via Connect Spanish, students are provided with opportunities to engage in meaningful conversations and collaborative task-based activities that enable students to practice their language skills making connections and understanding the Hispanic world.

Meaningful and real-life experience:  Culture is often left behind - so Tu mundo offers it throughout. Each chapter features a country of focus, which doubles as the home country of one of the fifteen amigos. In addition to the in-chapter cultural sections, every chapter of Tu mundo features a second video segment called Mi país, narrated by the amigos themselves as they share information about their native countries. This window into the lives of the amigos provides a point of comparison in which students can interact with language and culture in a meaningful way.
