Composición: Proceso y síntesis is designed for use in the advanced Spanish composition course to help students develop the ability to perform the writing tasks that are generally
expected of Spanish majors and minors. Since the publication of the first edition, instructors in this course have conveyed an increased interest in the development of functional, purposeful
language skills, and the authors factored this into their revision. This fifth edition also takes into account recent findings in writing research, and owes many of its improvements to the
helpful feedback from those who have used this best-selling textbook for more than twenty years.
