"In Experiencias Intermediate, students follow Sofía, a 23-year-old heritage learner of Spanish from the U.S., who travels extensively. Like Daniel in Experiencias Beginning, Sofía introduces each chapter's main strategy and shares her blog on the Spanish-speaking world. Through her video segments, Sofía poses questions to Spanish speakers and invites students to compare others' perspectives to their own. Guided by the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines (2012), Experiencias concentrates on what students can realistically communicate after two to four semesters of classroombased Spanish language instruction. Experiencias Beginning develops oral communication and literacy through a variety of authentic tasks. With the help of Experiencias Intermediate students continue to develop communicative competencies while also focusing on practical literacies, digital humanities, and job-related skills. The communicative nature of the tasks found in the book encourages students to begin using Spanish immediately in the classroom as they express their own personal meaning"--
