We have used the textbook Conectados in the lower-level Spanish program at the University of Tennessee. Conectados offers a comprehensive and flexible introduction to the Spanish language, integrating grammar, vocabulary, and cultural learning. The key reasons for adopting this textbook include its rich cultural content, clear explanations of grammar and verb conjugation, engaging exercises, and the inclusion of both a workbook and audio materials for practice. Its extensive coverage of verb conjugations and tenses helps students understand and apply grammatical concepts effectively.
