"Why Conexiones? Welcome to the sixth edition of Conexiones: Comunicación y cultura! Since the very beginning we have worked to provide a complete intermediate program that brings a broad learner audience to a true intermediate level of proficiency. With each edition, we strive to provide continuity from first- to second-year Spanish with engaging and pedagogically sound materials. After completion of our program, when learners go to use Spanish in their work or personal lives, they will have developed confidence in the language and the ability to express themselves on topics relevant to the issues of our time. Why is Conexiones such an effective tool for language learning? Because it provides solutions to the most common challenges of language teaching: ? A solid yet flexible bridge from introductory to intermediate Spanish. Our program meets learners where they are, and allows instructors the flexibility of adapting lessons to varying needs and levels. Conexiones takes learners from speaking words and phrases to creating with language; from writing lists and short messages to expressing meaning in practical ways; from understanding of key words and cognates to understanding simple speech and texts. Our program guides learners to an intermediate high level of proficiency as defined by ACTFL's Proficiency Guidelines 2012"--
