Maria Jesus Leal (Spanish) is co-author of Discurso y Polémicas, a recently published textbook designed to develop oral competency in Spanish as a second language in a way that is interdisciplinary, intellectually challenging, relevant to students’ interests, attuned to current computer literacy levels and sensitive to varying learning styles.
The textbook has been recently published in LibreTexts, an open educational resource platform created by University of California, Davis, and accessible to faculty to adopt and customize for interactive educational resources.
