"The excellent grammar presentations are one of the reasons I have liked using As? es in the past."
"I appreciate that there are often listening activities for specific forms/functions. This is one of the ways in which As? es achieves integration of language skills."
"The selected vocabulary is common usage and truly functional. Lists do not overwhelm students with an impossible number of words. Activities provide ample opportunities for practice and learning without memorizing lists. Learning vocabulary is reinforced by different activities, and instructors are given many ideas in the annotations of how to present vocabulary to maximize learning."
"The cultural component is more extensive and complete than in most books."
"[The Gaceta] is a strong feature of the package. It is surprising and refreshing that first-year students will be exposed to something like La vida es sue?o in the Enfoque literario."
