Mejor dicho' s functionally based approach--written entirely in Spanish--facilitates the development of advanced-level oral and written discourse skills in third- or fourth-year conversation and conversation/composition courses. Pedagogically innovative, the text links cultural behaviors to language and expands students' knowledge of commonly used regional variants. Following a preliminary chapter, each of the twelve regular chapters focuses on a specific country or region in the Spanish-speaking world and includes four parts: Asimilacion cultural, Primera situacion, Segunda situacion, and Estructuras.
