Quick Navigation

Overview

JUNTOS is an introductory Spanish program based on the principle of backward design. Project-based assessment tasks -- specifically created to measure identified course competencies for each unit -- drive the classroom activities and online homework that prepare students to complete the assessment tasks successfully. These projects occur at the end of each two-chapter unit, providing a more holistic approach to proficiency assessment. Each unit has a clear learning path that guides students through both the online and face-to-face content. To achieve proficiency, students complete online work in preparation for class, participate in collaborative activities in class, and then complete project-based assessment tasks to demonstrate their skills and knowledge.

Features

{{collapseContainerClosed['features'] ? 'Show More' : 'Show Less'}}
  • Flexibility: The combination of online and text-based platforms for the delivery of the program allows instructors the flexibility to create tailor-made lessons with the appropriate balance of face-to-face and out-of-class content to suit most course types.
  • Project assessment: Each two-chapter unit includes a final performance-based assessment project that serves as the evaluation of the students' achievement. In the spirit of backward design, this assessment is the basis for all of the after the target tasks. The project includes multiple components -- such as different skills and modes of communication and it involves teacher, peer, and self-evaluation. Rubrics are provided to assess students’ performance on the various project components.
  • Authentic, learner-centered video: Each chapter in the book includes an episode of the JUNTOS storyline video program. The story describes the experience of three international students and one Spanish student who attend a university in Spain. The U.S. student, Bella, shares an apartment with two Latin American students.
  • The three modes of communication and the 5 Cs: The program's focus is on developing global competence in Spanish that goes beyond the more "passive" competence that is often typical of beginning-level learners. To accomplish this, activities and exercises are included throughout the book to drive practice of the three modes of communication (interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational). Each project assessment is designed to include performance in the three modes.
