Author Description

Vistas comerciales y culturales is a one- or two-semester intermediate Spanish program with a focus on the application of more advanced grammar, vocabulary, and cultural insights in real-life contexts, both business and otherwise. Strategically, Vistas comerciales y culturales can satisfy the need for a shorter book in the 4th semester for those programs that have adopted a 3-semester Beginning Spanish format. For those schools with fewer contact hours, this book can serve them for 2 full semesters. With Vistas comerciales y culturales, by learning to apply what they learn in real-life situations and to carry out realistic tasks, students will acquire the language competence to actually communicate in the target language, rather than simply memorizing structures and words.
