Through its proven approach to heritage language learning, Samaniego/Rojas/Rodríguez Nogales/Alarcón's EL MUNDO 21 HISPANO, 3rd edition, equips students with a wealth of contextualized and purposeful content. As students learn about their country of origin or that of their ancestors, they begin to respect and take pride in their own cultural heritage as well as those of their classmates. The new edition offers a seamless passage through Intermediate Spanish for the heritage speaker, along with integrated grammar, vocabulary, media and culture as well as ample opportunities to interact and discuss each lesson's theme. The five authentic short films and a rich array of online resources keep students motivated and engaged throughout the course.
