"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"--

Immerse yourself in Spanish language and culture! Identidades empowers learners to acquire Spanish language skills while immersing them in the richness of the Hispanic world and its people. I dentidades is a two-semester intermediate Spanish program that brings the goals of the National Standards to virtually every page of the text and its ancillary components. The program presents and treats the cultures of the Hispanic world in ways that are both appealing and appropriate for college students and simultaneously maintains reasonable expectations for their understanding and productive use of grammatical concepts and structures. Communicative and rich in cultural content, Identidades is engaging, supports the language-learning process, and prepares and encourages students to continue their exploration of the Spanish language and Hispanic cultures beyond the second year. Teaching & Learning Experience Communicative and Content-Based Approach - The goal of the program is to ensure that intermediate level Spanish learners build their language skills in rich communicative and cultural contexts. Communicative activities found throughout the program draw learners to the material presented and help them apply the content to their own experiences. Connect with Culture - By engaging with the cultural, artistic, and social manifestations that infuse the program, learners will deepen their understanding that the Spanish-speaking world is made up of many races, ethnic groups, and cultures. Explore Grammar - The philosophy that underlies the presentation of grammar in Identidades is that adult language learners benefit from straightforward explanations and examples, as well as from opportunities to use structures in both controlled and open-ended activities that embed the targeted structures in meaningful communicative contexts. Build Vocabulary - Learners are introduced to vocabulary in the context of thought provoking reading selections. Develop Skills - A strategy- and process-oriented approach to reading and writing guides learners to apply their cognitive skills to communication in a second language. Reading strategies and tips, which draw the learners' attention to key ideas or unfamiliar words or phrases in the passages of each chapter, help readers develop their reading-comprehension skills in Spanish, employing techniques and skills that they use automatically when reading in their native languages. Writing strategies and tasks provide guidance for students to produce descriptions, narrations, and explanations in writing. Research-oriented writing activities prepare the learner for courses beyond the second year. Personalize Learning - MyLanguageLabs' proven results will be available for fall 2012 courses. The Books à la Carte Edition is an unbound, three-hole punched version of the textbook and provides students with the opportunity to personalize their book by incorporating their own notes and taking only the portion of the book they need to class - all at an affordable price.

"Aula abierta is comprised of brief, modular lessons that are organized around a communicative goal, in which students have the opportunity to show what they can do using Spanish effectively. Each lesson carefully scaffolds student progress through a series of pedagogical tasks that prepare students to accomplish the final goal. Grammar, vocabulary, and pragmatic knowledge are treated more as linguistic resources than as topics of instruction. Throughout each lesson, we have taken a comparative, global approach to Hispanic culture, highlighting authentic materials from around the world, as well as Latino communities within the United States. The learning experience is highly visual, providing students with a compelling introduction to the Spanish language and culture"--
