Reimagining Vocabulary
Strategic practice, meaningful context, and engaging tools to build lasting vocabulary knowledge
Fresco combines intentional vocabulary practice with powerful learning strategies to promote retention, independence, and confident communication.
| Intentionally Curated Vocabulary: Each Fresco chapter highlights key vocabulary aligned to communicative goals, giving students a clear set of high-frequency, practical words to master. | ||
| Out-of-the-Box Visual Support: No more searching for images! Our pre-made slide decks include high-quality, engaging images selected by experienced Spanish teachers to support vocabulary learning. | ||
| Learning and Using Words in Context: Students encounter vocabulary through meaningful, authentic reading and listening activities and practice them in interpersonal and presentational contexts. Words begin as information to be memorized and are elevated to tools for expression. | ||
| Leveraging Games for Deeper Learning: Creative twists encourage deeper processing during classic games (e.g., charades, bingo, memory, and more) and make vocabulary practice dynamic, collaborative, motivating, and memorable. | ||
| Fostering Independence and Lifelong Learning: Students are introduced to metacognitive strategies for learning and practicing vocabulary on their own, like creating mind maps, inferring meaning from text, and navigating a Spanish dictionary. Meanwhile, Mango’s digital vocabulary tools empower students to take ownership of their learning, expanding vocabulary beyond the classroom, exploring their own interests, and supporting real-world language use. |
