The fourth edition of this text is a communication-based program designed to help students develop competency in Spanish by allowing them to interact with their peers and instructors on a daily basis. The Competency Approach challenges students to understand the Spanish language and Hispanic cultures by encouraging them to use their own resources and apply it to what they are learning. Culturally integrated chapters focus on a specific Spanish-speaking country. Every element of the chapter, from the input, guided practice and open-ended practice, to the role-plays, listening activities, readings, and grammar, is designed to reflect the highlighted country.
