It focuses on structured input-processing and output-based activities and tasks for meaningful and authentic communication void of drill activities, requiring students to negotiate meaning. • Approachable, communicative textbook: This program was updated to fulfill the need for an approachable, flexible, communicative text with a sound pedagogical foundation. • Research-based pedagogical approach: Input-processing principles in vocabulary and grammar instruction: All presentations start with comprehensible input, either visual or text. • Form-meaning connection is at the center: Activities are meaning-based, not mechanical. Language instruction is always at the service of communication. • Task-supported methodology: Vocabulary and grammar sections incorporate authentic, purposeful, multi-step tasks where learners produce new language independently and creatively as they work toward a tangible goal or outcome. Students need to solve communication gaps, agree on something, make plans, make decisions, express preferences, or make recommendations. What sets Dicho y hecho apart?
