For courses in Elementary Spanish

A flexible introduction to Spanish that focuses on culture as well as language
¡Arriba! Comunicación y cultura provides a rich, complete, and highly flexible communicative language program that enables instructors to teach the course how they like within a variety of academic settings. Authors Eduardo Zayas-Bazán, Susan Bacon, and Holly Nibert give educators the tools to “speak” in their own voice — their own unique teaching style — while delivering a successful and rewarding learning experience. The 7th Edition has been thoroughly updated to offer a new design, fresh chapter openers, and improved vocabulary and grammar coverage in order to better help students master the language and culture of the Spanish-speaking world.

The Pearson Single Solution allows students to complete their assigned language practice on their mobile devices using Duolingo, the world’s leading language learning app. It also enables instructors to create their entire course inside the campus Learning Management System, simplifying the way they use Pearson-provided content in language courses.
