An innovative program that has been continuously refined, Puntos de partida delivers proven pedagogy: clear presentations, scaffolded activities, unparalleled teaching resources, and powerful digital tools. Puntos continues to build on the holistic, five-skills approach it pioneered.

Hallmarks include:
• A comprehensive scope and sequence that lets instructors choose what to cover; no need to create extra supplements to fill gaps as in other texts.
• A careful progression from formulaic expressions, on to vocabulary and grammar relevant to daily life and personal interests, then to preparing students for survival situations (e.g., ordering a meal); and finally to broader themes (e.g., current events).
• This progression is reinforced by a cyclical structure where vocabulary, grammar, and language functions are continuously reviewed and recycled.
• This release is enriched with contemporary culture and real-world scenarios that provide meaningful contexts for language acquisition.
