Conectandonos

Sinopsis

A culture-based, critical-thinking approach to learning and using Spanish in context.

Conectándonos is a culture-based first year textbook that focuses on the analysis of language in its cultural context. By combining a textbook and website, Conectándonos engages students from the very beginning in the development of productive abilities as proposed by the Council on the National Standards for Foreign Language Learning.

The third edition of Conectándonos:

• presents learners with themes and topics that lead them to actively contrast and compare linguistic structures and cultural perspectives across Spanish varieties as well as between Spanish and English.
• promotes the development of a learner-centered environment in which students can analyze data, find patterns of use and structure, make tentative hypotheses, and try them out.
• systematically introduces learners to significant and systematic regional variations that provide students with the chance to understand a wide variety of representative regional accents and uses of Spanish that students will encounter in the real world in which the many varieties of Spanish are used.
• provides students with strategies needed to develop useful language skills in reading, writing, speaking, listening, pronunciation, and cultural analysis.
• integrates cultural information throughout the majority of sections of every chapter.
