De nuevo is built from the ground up, with unique ways of addressing students who have had some Spanish before. The text's structure and approach provide students with a review of the communicative functions with which they are familiar—but not proficient. An initial focus on review material broadens to include engaging exercises that build vocabulary, an exploration of thematic readings, the presentation of more challenging grammatical structures, a multitude of communicative activities, and emphasis on the development of writing skills. Most activities involve brainstorming in order to acclimate students to working in groups and to provide opportunities for oral communication.
