• Innovative, practical and engaging, this program was created in response to the specific needs and challenges encountered by today's heritage learner.

• Students are encouraged to delve into many of the unique uses of the language throughout the Spanish-speaking world. They also learn to use formal registers in meaningful, real-life situations.

• In addition to cultural, historical and literary presentations that build cultural competence, enriching expansion activities celebrate heritage learners' differing backgrounds and linguistic levels as they share their own unique experiences and opinions.

• To meet the needs of all students and optimize their experiences inside and outside the classroom, this edition strategically integrates online, guided practice activities in MindTap with textbook-based group, open-ended and task-based exercises in the text.

• MindTap enables students to work at their own pace through a five-step, guided learning path and interact with students to complete meaningful assignments outside the classroom.

• Language Development. “Así hablamos y así escribimos” sections provide a guide tailored for the unique challenges heritage speakers face in mastering their native language at a full, professional level.

• Study Tools. Thematic vocabulary development and new point-of-use vocabulary lists are provided to highlight the most important information.

• Material in Action. The "¡Luces! ¡Cámara! ¡Acción!" section provides pre- and post-viewing activities for the text-specific video and SIX new cortometrajes, or short-films, added to the program.
