Conexiones: Comunicacion y cultura
This book features high interest topics, an effective and uniquely sequenced review of selected grammar points, and a thorough integration of language and culture. Each chapter synthesizes the development of language skills and cultural awareness through the active use of art, music, and literature from the Spanish speaking world. Active, personalized and real communication about real issues and experience is at the heart of Conexiones.  Through its unique grammar sequencing, Conexiones promotes natural language use: Lección 1 reviews the preterit and imperfect, enabling the users to move naturally between present and past from the beginning of the course. Lección 2 reviews the present subjunctive; readers are exposed to and use the subjunctive alongside the indicative throughout the program.  For those at the intermediate stage of learning/teaching the Spanish language.
