This publication contains thirty exciting and innovative examples of thematic, student-centered units of study which center around the five Cs of language learning (Communication, Cultures, Comparisons, Connections, and Communities) and which were developed by Texas teachers of Arabic, French, German, Japanese, Latin, and Spanish. Including such titles as The Multicultural Roman Empire, Mi Buenos Aires querido: The Immigrant Experience, Le carrefour culturel, and The Splendors of Egypt, these learning scenarios begin with high interest topics that extend far beyond the pages of the textbook and engage learners in a sequence of tasks through which they expand their ability to utilize and understand their target language as they use it to investigate the theme in question.
