Designed to prepare students for the ab initio Spanish course for the International Baccalaureate Diploma programme, Panorama hispanohablante is divided into two parts, each of which includes a coursebook, a teacher's resource and a workbook. This unique resource is totally international in approach, it contains material especially selected to engage older teenager learners, and it encourages students to think and reflect at a level that is suitable for an IB Diploma student. There is a strong emphasis on developing intercultural understanding and on Spanish as a world language. Across the series the key IB Language ab initio topics and themes and all elements of the examination are covered. All the language is taught and practised in context, ToK, CAS and conceptual understanding of language are fully integrated into the learning, and Spanish speaking culture takes a central role.
