Conectados is a first-of-its-kind program that takes your
course to exciting levels of engagement and interaction—
however you teach, and however your students learn
Conectados and iLrn™ provide a seamless experience
in and out of the classroom, connecting students with
the Spanish-speaking world, with other academic
disciplines, and with each other. What’s more,
Conectados engages all students with the language,
regardless of how they learn. Visual learners
benefit from illustration-, photographic-, or videobased instruction. Auditory learners find ample audio
and video recordings to facilitate their studies.
Kinesthetic learners enjoy the interactivity of the
instructional and practice screens in iLrn. Students
who like to work alone, students who prefer to work
in a group, students who work quickly, students
who need more time—they’re all supported by
Conectados and iLrn.
Conectados was created to address a variety of
course formats: face-to-face, hybrid, and online, all
of which require varying amounts of in-class and
online time. Conectados is easily adapted to your
course’s particular needs.
No matter the configuration of
your course, Conectados is easily
adapted to meet your needs.
2
Face-to-Face
For face-to-face courses, instructors use the
Communication Manual and iLrn. The printed
Communication Manual provides concise instruction
and formative activities in vocabulary, functional
language, and grammar. Students improve their
retention of these concepts by completing practice
activities in iLrn. They are then prepared to use
these concepts in the next face-to-face session with
the Communication Manual’s unique
communicative activities.
Hybrid
For courses with fewer face-to-face meetings, students study and practice vocabulary and grammatical
concepts in iLrn to allow for communicative use of
the language in the limited face-to-face sessions. The
Exprésate communicative activities in the Communication
Manual appear on colored pages, which allows
instructors and students to quickly locate them.
Fully Online
For online or distance-learning courses, Conectados
facilitates a balanced, yet dynamic course: interactive
presentations of vocabulary, grammar, and culture,
auto-graded practice exercises, individual, pair, or
small group voice-chat activities, skills development
activities, as well as targeted assessments. Students
do not need the printed Communication Manual,
although they may appreciate using it as an offline
reference. Flipped
Conectados is also ideally suited to a flipped classroom model, in which instruction and practice of
concepts are assigned online as preparation for
face-to-face sessions, leaving more time in the
classroom for creative use of the language with the
Communication Manual.

1. Ready?
This step is students’ first exposure to the topic at hand, and it
prepares them either by presenting them with learning
objectives or by having them reflect on and draw from their prior
knowledge of the topic.
Try it!
Listen to each word or phrase and drag the corresponding picture next to the number.
2. Learn it!
Vivid and interactive presentations and instruction are paired with
quick Try it! activities that promote active learning. Presentational
material includes photos and illustrations with audio-enhanced
labels, written explanations with charts, sample dialogues, readings, and videos. Presentations are broken down into manageable
“chunks,” each of which has a unique Try it! activity that allows
students to put the new concepts to work right away.
