SEC: SS/foreign language

["Catharine D. Wolf" <hwolf@FRONTIERNET.NET>]

The foreign language teachers are asking for more support with the =
lands-and-peoples aspect of their subject.  Here in New York, the new =
Learning Standards call for students to learn cultural awareness along =
with their spoken language skills.  The history of a country is of =
secondary importance.

Can anyone recommend good resources for Spanish classes in a region =
where we don't have Spanish-speaking students (we have more who speak =
Vietnamese) to enlighten us.  I have looked at several series, but =
without becoming enthusiastic.  We need cultural information from both =
Spain and Latin America.

Thanks in advance-
