Vivencias: Lengua, cultura y sociedad a través de relatos sonoros is a multimodal text for advanced learners of Spanish based exclusively on authentic materials. Vivencias exposes students to testimonies of speakers from many parts of Latin America, including those from historically marginalized communities. Through the examination of complex social issues such as healthcare systems, environmental conflicts, and freedom of the press, students acquire the vocabulary needed to contribute to conversations on a wide range of topics. At the same time, they will develop confidence in using the language to explore questions that are stimulating on a cognitive and affective level. The interactive ebook format allows students to read the text of each chapter and engage with digital learning activities—including podcast episodes produced by Radio Ambulante.
