Focusing on second language acquisition, this book introduces Processing Instruction (PI), which emphasizes enhancing how learners process linguistic input rather than merely producing output. It distinguishes itself from traditional grammar teaching by prioritizing structured input—carefully designed comprehensible input aimed at maximizing learning. PI's innovative approach not only reshapes grammar instruction but also significantly contributes to both theoretical understanding and practical application in language learning contexts.

Que te parece? is an exciting an innovative new program suitable for any communicative or proficiency-based intermediate Spanish course. Que te parece? contains unusually interesting material on a wide variety of topics,many not typically included in second year texts that will capture and hold students' attention. Both the grammar and the activities in Que te parece are driven by content,so that they are always presented in an authentic context. The approach of Que te parece provides Spanish majors and minors with excellent preparation for upper division classes while still maintaining the interest and meeting the needs of students not intending to continue in Spanish. Full color throughout,Que te parece has a stunning design that includes fine art as well as photographs from all over the Hispanic world.
