FUENTES is made up of FUENTES: CONVERSACIÓN Y GRAMÁTICA (FCG) and FUENTES: LECTURA Y REDACCIÓN (FLR).

Each chapter in FUENTES: CONVERSACIÓN Y GRAMÁTICA, Fifth Edition focuses on theme, and grammar and vocabulary presentations that are based on language functions. The FUENTES program approach and philosophy: We learn by doing. By using the language to communicate original thoughts, in oral and written form, and by interacting with written texts and recorded conversations, students will acquire a high degree of proficiency. Skill integration promotes language development. Each skill reinforces the others; therefore, students learn to comprehend and produce language while practicing specific strategies for listening, reading, and writing.
