Exercises are centered around real-world health tasks.<\/p>\n<p>The <i>\u00a1A su salud!<\/i> program is delivered via the web and a print workbook. By taking advantage of the combined capabilities of these delivery methods, <i>\u00a1A su salud!<\/i> accommodates students with different learning styles and communication needs and provides students with a dynamic mix of &#8220;face-to-face&#8221; interaction, self-paced study, and exercises for practice, all from the convenience of home or office.<\/p>\n<p>This innovative approach is ideal for distance learning and provides students with the opportunity for &#8220;anytime, anywhere&#8221; instruction in their rotations, internships, or practices.<\/p>\n<p><i>\u00a1A su salud!<\/i> is designed as an instructor-led program where the instructor assumes the role of facilitator and coach rather than the traditional role as lecturer. The instructor interacts with the student through a variety of exercises and web tools found in the web component of the program.<\/p>\n<p><i>\u00a1A su salud!<\/i> is designed with a high degree of learner control because the student decides where to start in a section, what sequence to follow, and the number of times to view video and attempt exercises. Most importantly, the student can individualize and expand the DVD, web and print components to construct a personalized learning environment.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Preparaci\u00f3n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Preparaci\u00f3n section is composed of pre-learning activities that focus students on the content to be presented in the upcoming unit.<\/p>\n<p>Some features of the Preparaci\u00f3n section include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Objetivos\u2014Presents the objectives for the upcoming unit.<\/li>\n<li>Principios\u2014Highlights specific health and language issues students will encounter in the unit.<\/li>\n<li>M\u00e1s alla\u2014Discusses how and why some messages may be unclear and provides strategies to help students clarify what is being said.<\/li>\n<li>Virtual Grammar Device\u2014Presents an in-depth look at a grammar point that is especially difficult for English speakers of Spanish to understand.<\/li>\n<li>Vocabulario\u2014Presents specific vocabulary (key terms and phrases) from the Historia. The student can access an audio pronunciation of the featured words or phrases and see written examples of the words or phrases used in context. The Vocabulario is designed to help the student learn the key vocabulary used in the storyline and to recognize these words and phrases in context. However, it is not designed to function as a dictionary.<\/li>\n<li>Personajes\u2014Presents detailed profiles (video) of characters featured in the episode of the unit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Historia (Video)Each unit of <i>\u00a1A su salud!<\/i> is organized around an episode from the Historia\u2014a simple, but engaging storyline, delivered as broadcast-quality video. An interdisciplinary cast of characters (e.g., physicians, nurses, social worker, pharmacist, clients and community people) with a variety of accents, set in a Latino-run community-based health center, help make language and culture come alive. The story&#8217;s plot presents authentic and provocative scenarios involving the staff, members of their families, and Spanish-speaking clients and community members. Each episode of the Historia introduces students to grammar structures and vocabulary that are then reinforced in the exercises on the web and workbook.<\/p>\n<p>Some features of the Historia section include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Resumen\u2014A brief video review that identifies key story elements from the Historia in the previous unit.<\/li>\n<li>Subtitles\u2014Spanish subtitles that are accessible while viewing the Historia.<\/li>\n<li>Glossed entries\u2014Specific terms that appear in the subtitles are hyperlinked to the Glosario.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Repaso<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Repaso section consists of review exercises that check students&#8217; comprehension of the Historia.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Aplicaci\u00f3n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Aplicaci\u00f3n section consists of exercises (e.g., case studies, discussion questions) that require students to reflect, problem-solve and interact with other students and\/or the instructor through the web component of the program.
