Thirteenth in the Service-Learning in Disciplines Series, this book provides a sound approach to the many conceptual and methodological changes that have taken place in the teaching of languages and cultures. By reviewing the accomplishments of Spanish teachers and what theory informs us, the editors have compiled a series of suggestions to help students and teachers 'connect with communities in order to facilitate learning with each other rather than about each other.
