Summary of Contents
Comunicación
Here we highlight selected vocabulary from the module. The student is responsible for all the content in this module and for any supplemental information shared by their instructor (not only the information included below). The student should use the following information as a starting point for their review. In addition, they should highlight and expand on vocabulary lists to include terms that are most relevant to them. This will allow students to customize their language learning journey along the many relevant themes throughout the textbook (e.g., student life, home life, daily life, lifestyle, family, favorite foods, and clothing style). In addition, this will facilitate more personal end-of-module speaking and writing activities.
