ˇArriba! Comunicación y cultura is a highly flexible program—one that can be used effectively in a wide range of learning environments by students who learn in different ways and use technology to varying degrees. ˇArriba! has been consistently praised for its clarity and for providing materials that are both motivating and easy to use. We believe that you will find these qualities reflected in the sixth edition as well.

 

From a new cultural focus in Perfiles that introduces the cultures of the Hispanic world through personal perspectives to new opportunities for cross-cultural learning throughout; learners can now interact with Spanish in a dynamic way.  You can also gauge your progress with new section-ending żCuánto saben? activities that help you put everything together in realistic, role-play situations.  With the new Presencia hispana notes, you can see that Spanish is right outside their your door in your local community, making learning Spanish applicable and useful in your life.  See for yourself how this new, personal approach combined with the hallmarks of clear grammar explanations and a wealth of meaningful practice activities brings Spanish to life!

 

 

About this title

From the Back Cover

The January, 2015 release of this best-selling program includes a new, interactive eBook, a new cultural video, online vocabulary tutorials, dynamic study modules, and instant real-time classroom analytics made possible by Learning Catalytics.

 

There are many ways to be a highly successful instructor of Spanish. ˇArriba! not only recognizes this fact but it informs an integral aspect of its approach: a rich, complete, and highly flexible communicative language program that provides latitude for individual instructors to teach the course in different ways within a wide variety of academic settings. Each instructor can "speak" in their own voice – their own unique style – and be certain that with ˇArriba! students will have a successful and rewarding learning experience.

 

It is hard, if not impossible, to be reductive when talking about a program as rich and complete as ˇArriba!, however, if we were to name a second aspect of ˇArriba!, now in its Sixth Edition, that has contributed to making it an undisputed best seller, it would be the clarity and strength of its grammar presentations combined with activities that develop cultural insight and strong communication skills. The end result: a supremely solid approach that is easy to use and implement.
