Sentieri provides material students can relate to. The students like the online components and activities, because they like computers. They also like the ability to see their results immediately, and the variety of activities that require the recording of their voice.

We use the Fotoromanzo like an ongoing drama series. It's been a huge hit with my class—a wonderful generator of strong opinions and engaging conversations.
_ Jenny McCrord
University of Pittsburg

I used Sentieri for the first time this semester and I was amazed at the accuracy of the text and the richness of the cultural presentations.
