Our Group began its publishing activities in the field of language teaching materials in the seventies, but it was not until 1992 that it created a specific business structure for this purpose: Richmond Publishing, dedicated to producing English-as-a-foreign-language teaching materials. Teams of publishers were established in London, Oxford, Madrid, Mexico D.F. and Buenos Aires. Each of these groups pursued the same objective: the development of high quality materials to meet the specific needs of the different markets where the Group is present.

Santillana first started publishing French courses in the 1970’s. To meet the increased demand, however, it has recently promoted the development of materials in this language with the series Action!, Action! XXI and Énergie for secondary schools, and C’est la vie for adolescents and adults.

In order to satisfy the growing demand for French-as-a-foreign-language materials, and following on from the successful publication of the À l'aventure and Alerte series, Santillana has recently put further resources into secondary school materials in French.

In the field of Spanish, the agreement with Spain´s University of Salamanca has favored the development of a wide range of Spanish-as- a-foreign- language materials, including 'Viaje al Español' and the Diccionario Salamanca de la Lengua Española, as well as several other series designed to further bilingual education in the United States of America.

The growing interest in the Spanish language observed in Brazil and in the United States of America, as well as in countries belonging to the European Union, has motivated Grupo Santillana to embark on new projects that will come to fruition in the near future and will reinforce our product range in Spanish as a foreign and second language.
