This is a list of Spanish textbooks and materials for the instruction of Spanish Native Speakers that was gathered for the LangNet Annotated Bibliography Project at the Center for Applied Linguistics in the summer of 2001 by Cathy Stafford and Paula Winke. However, this is not exhaustive of titles available. These represent the textbooks and materials that the publishing companies sent to the Center for Applied Linguistics.
Below, in this HTML document, the information gathered has been made available. The textbook and material names are in bold. Each name is followed by the ISBN, the price, then the publishing year. You will see the publisher (not all have the publisher listed) and a list of up to four of the authors, last names followed by first names. The type of the material is listed (workbook, textbook, CD-ROM), level, skills taught, and who the intended audience is (native speakers, native and non-native speakers, intended for non-natives but can be adapted for natives). For each reference, after this information is given, the annotation is presented.

Native/Heritage Spanish Speakers
This foundational text is designed for native Spanish speakers at the
university level who are literate in English and beginning their formal study of
Spanish. A video, "Mosaico cultural," comes with the textbook. Using a
content-based approach, the book seeks to develop the four language skills.
Vocabulary is academic and dialectal and informal/formal register differences
are addressed throughout the text. Integrated language is emphasized and
whole-language learning strategies are taught.
"¡Ahora sí!" is divided by
theme into 12 chapters; themes include social issues, the future, environment,
music, and Hispanic identity and traditions. Content, culture and language
objectives are presented on the opening pages of each chapter. An introductory
paragraph serves as an advance organizer for each chapter and is accompanied by
questions that activate prior knowledge and facilitate oral interaction on the
topic of the chapter.
Each chapter's introduction is followed by the
chapter's reading selection, which is supported by pre-reading activities and
reading strategies. Readings represent works from a variety of Spanish-speaking
cultures and emphasize groups that comprise a majority of the U.S. Hispanic
population. Sources for reading selections include magazine and newspaper
articles, poetry, and short stories and legends. Post-reading exercises check
comprehension and include identifying main ideas and supporting details in short
answer format. A section, "Para escribir y comentar," makes suggestions for
students to make journal entries, present dramatizations, conduct interviews and
write essays, for example, as ways to extend the theme of a reading. Several
reading selections of varying difficulty levels are included in chapters to
allow for varying proficiency levels. Formal writing tasks are presented after
readings along with strategies and suggested topics. These tasks are connected
to the preceding reading.
Grammar explanations are given in Spanish and
exercises frequently refer students to a chapter's readings in order to locate
examples of a particular structure in context. Explanations touch upon
accentuation, prefixes and suffixes, idiomatic expressions, verbs with spelling
changes, uses of the pronoun "se," etc. Exercise formats include analyzing and
explaining the use of a grammatical structure in the context of a reading,
manipulating verbs of a passage from a chapter reading and writing an essay to
practice a targeted structure.

Native/Heritage and Non-Native Spanish Speakers
This reader is
designed for both native and non-native speakers enrolled in a third-year
college course. It seeks to provide an introduction to literary analysis and to
develop critical thinking skills and expand literary vocabulary. The anthology
is divided by literary genre into four units that focus on narrative, poetry,
drama and essay. Each unit opens with an extensive overview of the genre in
focus, providing discussion of its history, movements and significant figures. A
structured questionnaire follows to check comprehension of the introduction.
Several literary excerpts written in English and Spanish are included with each
unit introduction so that students may practice analyzing a particular aspect of
these fragments to further reinforce introductory material. Several examples
(from 5 essays to 59 poems) of each genre are included and each selection is
preceded by questions to guide reading as well as a brief biographical sketch of
the writer. Readings are glossed, with English translations or Spanish
explanations of words and phrases provided.
Five to ten structured
comprehension questions follow each selection as well as a section of
identification items and a list of possible topics for further discussion of the
reading. The poetry unit includes examination of figurative language and
literary devices.
Appendices include a guide on reading critical essays,
examples of verses classified by number of syllables, a glossary of literary
terminology and a chronological chart of literary works organized by genre.

This student
book of nine illustrated short stories has an accompanying teacher's edition
with exercises for teaching reading skills, reproducible worksheets and an
answer key. The reader is intended for native, young adolescent students reading
at approximately a third grade level and can be used with non-native speakers as
well. The selections are modified versions of tales and fables from rural
Mexico. Each story is preceded by a vocabulary list with Spanish synonyms or
glosses. Stories range in length from approximately 300 to 800 words. Each is
followed by 7-10 reading comprehension questions, half of which address the
content of the story, and the other half of which are more open-ended to address
higher order thinking skills and facilitate class discussion. Each story is also
accompanied by two activities that provide for interaction with the selection
through, for instance, writing a continuation of the story or creating a similar
tale based on personal experiences.

Writing Native/Heritage
Spanish Speakers
This fundamental textbook for second graders is part of the "¡Bien
Dicho!" series of textbooks that focuses on Spanish grammar and writing
activities for children grades 2 through 6 who are native speakers of Spanish.
Goals of the text are to correct Spanish and improve grammar and fluency. The
book is divided into five units of eight lessons each, all presented in Spanish.
A lesson consists of two to four pages and begins with a brief advance organizer
activity to introduce the grammatical topic of the lesson. Topics in the second
grade book include subjects and predicates of a sentence, pronouns, adjectives,
punctuation and preterit and imperfect verbs. A short explanation of a lesson's
topic and its use is followed by oral and then written practice (each consisting
of 3 or 4 discrete point items) of the topic. These activities are built around
the color illustrations and photos of animals or people that accompany them.
Additional tasks are intended to be completed individually by students and
provide for further reinforcement of the grammar point. A writing task is
included at the end of each lesson to serve as an interactive class or pair
activity. Strategies are also presented in this section to improve writing
fluency and individual writing activities serve to reinforce the strategies
presented.
Each unit ends with a quiz, a practice test and additional
practice activities for the topics covered in that lesson. Tasks in these
sections include sentence completion or revision and identification of parts of
speech. Many activities follow a multiple-choice format.
Each grade
level textbook in the "¡Bien Dicho!" series has an accompanying "Teacher's
Edition (Guía del maestro)" manual for the teacher ("Second grade ¡Bien Dicho!

in the series are "En la Ocho y la Doce" (ISBN: 0-618-00021-6) and "Canícula"
(ISBN: 0-618-01180-3).
"Cajas de carton" is a collection of 12 separate
but interconnected short stories written from the point of view of one of the
children in a Mexican-American family of migrant farm workers. The stories are
based on the life experiences of the author and his family. Vocabulary is
colloquial with frequent use of Spanish-English code-switching in the dialog.
The goals of the readers in this series are to provide for a deeper
understanding f Latino heritage in the U.S. and to compare and contrast the

foundational textbook is designed for advanced, undergraduate students enrolled
in an introductory Spanish phonetics and phonology course. Each text ordered
comes with free cassettes or audio CDs. The goals of the text are to facilitate
improved pronunciation and expand students' knowledge of the Spanish sound
system and the different dialects of Spanish. The book is organized into 8
chapters. The first two chapters address Spanish orthography, presenting
spelling rules, contrasting graphemes and phonemes, and explaining common
orthographic problems by means of spelling rules. Technical explanations are
written in Spanish and supporting examples are provided. Contrastive analysis of
English orthography with examples is included as well. Reinforcing exercises are
offered throughout and formats include error correction, verbalizing rules,
transcription and listening activities that involve the included audio program.
An icon in the margin alerts students to sections that require use of the
cassettes/CDs.
Chapter 3 deals with syllabification, tonic stress and
accentuation, information that serves as a foundation for subsequent chapters
about phonetics, phonology and intonation. Practice exercises include converting
phonemic and phonetic transcriptions to standard Spanish as well as transcribing
standard Spanish phonemically/phonetically. In Chapter 7 Spanish and English
pronunciations are contrasted and the final chapter presents information about
different dialects of Spanish.

Writing Non-Native Spanish
Speakers, but can be adapted for Native/Heritage Speakers
This foundational textbook is written for non-native college students
enrolled in advanced composition courses. It can be used in either one- or
two-semester courses and is supplemented by a workbook. The textbook is packaged
with a CD-ROM (ISBN: 0-07-561929-6) that has accompanying writing software. The
package with the workbook and CD-ROM (ISBN: 0-07-561940-7) has one price,
$42.00.
Using a process approach to writing, the text seeks to develop
functional language and expository writing skills as students expand their
control of grammar, range of vocabulary and use of rhetorical techniques. The
book is organized into six chapters that focus on the four modes of writing:
description, narration, exposition and argumentation. All explanations and
activities are written in Spanish.
Each chapter begins with an
'Orientación' section in which an overview of the mode of writing along with
analyzed examples are presented. The chapter's writing task is previewed in this
section as well. The 'Orientación' is followed by prewriting activities designed
to facilitate identifying a purpose and topic for the chapter's writing task,
organize the composition and anticipate the audience for the writing. Writing
strategies are also presented for each stage of the writing process. Prewriting
activity formats include brainstorming, analyzing writing samples, visualization
and free writing, and identifying the irony in a cartoon. From the prewriting
activities students develop a draft, peer edit (sample drafts included in the
text and later classmates' work) and create a revision plan for their own
writing. Activities associated with the revision stage include group
consultation, completing a checklist, and editing and discussing the strengths
and weaknesses of writing samples presented in the text.
Grammar and
vocabulary review is provided (with supporting activities in the workbook) for
expansion of structural and vocabulary knowledge. Grammar explanations are
written in Spanish and are accompanied by examples. Emphasis is given to
difficulties typically encountered by English-speaking learners of Spanish. The
structures and vocabulary presented in each chapter are particular to the mode
of writing in focus and attention is drawn to these structures in the
step-by-step revision process.
The accompanying writing software comes
in two versions: a Student CD for use on standalone computers and an
Institutional CD, which is a network edition that allows for interchange among
students and the instructor. The software includes an onscreen handbook, searchable by chapter, that
reproduces some of the strategy presentation and exercises from the textbook. An
"Invent" section opens in a word processing program and asks prewriting
questions in Spanish with space for students to write responses as they
brainstorm and organize thoughts for the writing task. Another "Write" section
opens in a word processing program to enable students to write and revise drafts
of each chapter's writing task.
Additional resources included in the software are a glossary of grammar
terms (in English), Spanish thesaurus and verb conjugation reference charts.

Both Native/Heritage and Non-Native Spanish Speakers This workbook supplements the
"¡Dime! Uno" text for non-native high school students, making the series usable
in mixed classes of native and non-native speakers. (There is also a workbook
for non-natives.) The teacher's edition textbook provides suggestions for
substituting activities more appropriate for native and heritage speakers. The
workbook is intended for students who have completed the equivalent of one or
two years of Spanish in primary schools in the U.S. or in their countries of
origin, students who typically hear Spanish at home but who do not necessarily
speak themselves and who are not experienced readers and writers of Spanish. An
audio program supplements the workbook.
The workbook is set up in a
manner similar to that of the "Tu mundo, Curso para hispanohablantes" (ISBN
0-618-08599-8) series workbook. Using a skill-based approach, the workbook's
goals are to correct Spanish and improve grammar, reading and listening skills.
Exercises focus on targeted needs of Spanish speakers with regard to grammar,
spelling, reading comprehension and writing. There are 8 units that correspond
to and reinforce the cultural and grammar content of the units in the text.
Three lessons comprise each unit and lessons are divided into listening,
grammar, writing and reading sections. Appendices contain an answer key, rules
for Spanish accentuation and forms on which students may record their progress
with spelling.
The listening section contains activities that accompany
an audiotape program. Brief biographies of historic and contemporary Hispanic
figures are presented along with six true/false comprehension questions. A
second listening activity addresses accentuation and syllabification rules,
spelling or pronunciation with a focus on needs specific to native speakers.
Students listen to and complete exercises with lists of targeted words or
sentences as additional practice.
Reading sections begin with activities
in which open-ended questions serve as advance organizers for the reading
selection. Many readings are whole or excerpts from authentic literary texts
written by authors such as Juan Rulfo, Ana María Matute, Alfredo
Villanueva-Collado and Daisy Zamora, others are descriptions of cities or
regions of the Hispanic world. Some of the literary selections are read by their
author and are included on the audiotape. Post-reading activities provide for
comprehension checks, analysis and discussion of the reading. Formats for these
exercises include multiple choice, true/false and diagram/picture completion. At
the end of each section students are presented with an essay topic related to
the reading.
Other sections of each lesson include practice with
spelling, activities that facilitate sharing information with classmates, and
sections devoted to colloquial language use and language variation. The third
lesson of each unit has a section that focuses on a particular form of writing
such as taking phone messages and writing an informal letter. Brief formal rules
are followed by activities that provide skill-building practice.

Non-Native Spanish Speakers, but can be adapted for Native/Heritage
Speakers This is a
foundational first-year text for nonnative university students that can be
adapted for use in mixed native and nonnative classes. It is supplemented by an
audio CD that comes with the text, a text-integrated video, workbook, an
instructor's resource manual, situation cards, software, a text-specific Web
site <www.hrwcollege.com>, a CD-ROM and overhead transparencies. An
ancillary "Cuaderno para hispanohablantes" is currently out of print. The text
takes a communicative approach to develop fluency, accuracy and communicative
competence.
The book is divided by theme or featured Spanish-speaking
country into an introductory lesson and 15 chapters. Opening pages of each
chapter include an outline of its content and photos of the country highlighted
in that chapter. Accompanying questions are designed to help students activate
prior knowledge on the theme or country in focus. Chapters are subdivided into 3
"Pasos" and each Paso begins with an introductory section consisting of a photo,
advertisement or drawing to facilitate making cross-cultural comparisons. In
early chapters questions and captions are written in English; transition to all
Spanish occurs in later chapters.
New lesson vocabulary and grammatical structures are presented by
means of illustrated narratives. The first narrative of each Paso is designed
for students to complete independently and involves listening to the audio CD
and responding to short answer questions outside of class. Subsequent narrative
(either audio- or video-based) in the first and second Paso is intended for
completion in class with the instructor for further introduction and
reinforcement of new vocabulary and grammar. Chapters 11-15 incorporate a
"telenovela," "La dinastía del amor", in Paso 1 and 2 of each chapter. Following
narratives are interactive activities in which students practice application of
new structures in speech. Activities include guided dialogs, roleplay,
interviewing a classmate and expressing personal opinions.
Cultural
reading selections are presented in Paso 1 and 2 of each chapter and feature a
particular Spanish-speaking country or region, notable Hispanic figure from that
region, or a cross-cultural miscommunication that students are asked to analyze
and explain.
Paso 3 of each chapter includes a reading selection
accompanied by pre-reading activities and presentation of reading strategies (in
English). Passages are both authentic (e.g., newspaper and magazine articles and
literary works) and created by the authors of the textbook.
A section at
the end of Paso 1 in each chapter illustrates how Spanish is used in various
disciplines such as art, history, music and mathematics. Paso 2 concludes with a
writing task presented with a process approach. A section at the end of Paso 3
provides addresses on the World Wide Web for topics related to chapter content.
Grammar explanations and written exercises appear at the end of each
chapter. Explanations are presented in English and exercises are completed in
Spanish. Formats of these activities include fill-in-the-blanks, sentence
creation/completion and short answer questions. Two or three exercises support
each grammar point.
Included as appendices are illustrations to be used
in interactive "information gap" activities, verb lists with paradigms for all
but perfect tenses, reference pages for grammatical structures not presented
formally in the text and Spanish-English, English-Spanish glossaries.
