Highlights:

  • The modular format of the chapter is evenly paced. Each of the two modules contains two vocabulary and two grammar sections.
  • Summary vocabulary lists are included at the end of each chapter.
  • End-of-chapter synthesis activities provide ample opportunities for four-skills practice.
  • Careful and consistent progression of activities enables students to internalize the material by providing enough practice for them to feel comfortable communicating in real-life situations.
  • The readings in Algo más, which relate to the theme of each chapter, represent a wide variety of Spanish-speaking cultures. Real-world activities follow each reading, connecting students to the world beyond the classroom.
  • An audio CD-ROM program accompanies the student text.
