Raices: Una aproximacion comunicativa intercultural a la lengua espanola, Volumen uno is a communicative-based, learner-centric book designed to give Spanish 101 students opportunities to develop and practice Spanish in everyday situations.

Each chapter of the book features distinct sections--a) !A empezar!, b) !A conversar!, c) !A escuchar!, d) !A escribir!, and e) !A leer!-- to help develop the students' five language skills: writing, reading, speaking, listening, and cultural awareness. At the end of each lesson, is included Perspectiva cultural and !A pronunciar! or Ortografia. The text offers a variety of interactive and communicative exercises such as tongue-twisters, crosswords, riddles, real world tasks, role play, reading excerpts, short film discussion questions, and other listening exercises.

Students learn how to greet people in Spanish, tell time, use personal pronouns, talk about sports and professions, use prepositions to describe locations, use possessive and descriptive adjectives, talk about the weather and seasons, and much more.

With emphases on practical application, conversational Spanish, and cultural understanding, this text is the first volume in a three-book series developed to help foster students' language acquisition and speaking ability.
