Hecho en Texas (Made in Texas) is a new Spanish textbook developed for the first semester Spanish course at UT Austin. The textbook is an adaptation of Trayectos by Dr. Gabriela C. Zapata (https://trayectosoer.org) and is hosted on the Pressbooks platform.
The material in Hecho en Texas has been developed for learners of Spanish in Texas. It is designed to guide the student’s learning process and discovery of the Spanish-speaking world in Texas and beyond.
The textbook’s objectives are twofold:
- To prepare the learner – linguistically and culturally – to use Spanish to communicate with speakers in Texas, in the United States and around the world.
- To strengthen their personal and/or professional connection to the language.
