Introduction / Rationale for the Unit

  In recent years, the focus of foreign language teaching has shifted from merely teaching the target language to teaching students how to survive and communicate in the target culture. This is especially fitting in the current era of ever-increasing globalization, as international travel is becoming more prevalent for business, recreational, and academic purposes. This unit prepares students for such endeavors by:

• taking them on a journey through common destinations in Spanish-speaking countries, 
• providing them with knowledge of linguistic structures that are helpful for travel-related communication in the target language,
• and more!
