Contigo (ELE textbook series for high school)

With you: An innovative series of ELE textbooks for high school

As part of the CC Buchner author team, I contributed to the creation of Contigo, a series of textbooks Spanish as a Foreign Language (ELE) designed specifically for high school students in Germany.

The first volume, With you to the school band 1, introduces students to Spanish as a third foreign language in 272 pages. Its unique focus on Albacete, my hometown, offers an authentic and personal perspective of Hispanic culture. As a curiosity, this approach earned me the nomination as ambassador from my city, an honor that fills me with pride.

Highlighted Features from the series With You:

• Competency-based approach with balanced progression in grammar and vocabulary
• Variety of authentic texts and effective vocabulary learning
• Promotion of the Creativity and communicative competence
• Integration of Digital media and intercultural information appropriate
• Strategy sections and units of self-assessment
• Glossary with learning aids and optional material by chapter
• Lesson texts available at CD

Although the project offered less creative flexibility than other formats, the experience was enormously enriching and allowed me to reach a wider audience. With you not only teaches Spanish, but also introduces students to the rich culture of the Spanish-speaking world, starting with a virtual tour of Albacete.

Available in print and digital format, With you It has become a versatile and effective tool for teaching Spanish, achieving great success in numerous federal states of Germany.
