This highly innovative beginning Spanish text is both task-based and content-based. Task-based instruction requires students to use Spanish to complete specific goals or tasks in each lesson. Content-based instruction involves the use of readings from a variety of disciplines (health, psychology, anthropology, and so forth).

The innovative approach to instruction is supported and enriched through engaging unit and chapter themes as well as through fascinating cultural content presented in the ¿Sabías que... ? boxed features and Vistazos culturales sections within each lesson.
