Teaching & Learning Experience

• Improve Communication Skills While Engaging Students:  Conexiones connects to the real world students live in and are exposed to in the media, as well as to the disciplines of study across campus.

We’ve made it easier!

Rich in cultural input throughout chapters, Conexiones also integrates music, art, and literature to expand upon chapter topics in the Comunicación y cultura sections. A brand-new video program captures the richness of the cultures of Spanish-speaking world.
