Treffer: Florecer

This introductory level textbook was developed with the student in mind. Florecer means to "bloom" or to "thrive" in Spanish. This textbook should give the student and their instructor the tools to learn at home and acquire the language both in class and through meaningful conversations in Spanish with both native and non-native speakers of Spanish. This is a communicatively based Spanish Language textbook focused on offering students the resources to become more aware of the diversity of the Spanish speaking world. Each chapter will include opportunities to read, write, react and converse with classmates, the instructor and to make connections with the Spanish speaking world through meaningful interactions.
This textbook was developed to give students and their instructors free and open access to a textbook aimed at the Introductory level of Spanish. The vocabulary, grammar and readings were developed with the final goal of guiding students towards meaningful communication through reading, writing, listening and speaking activities. Each of the 12 chapters are dedicated to a different Spanish speaking country or region and focused on introducing students to the immense cultural and linguistic diversity of the Spanish speaking world. By the end of the last chapter, students should be able to bloom to the functional level in the Spanish language set up to thrive at the intermediate level.
