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.

Elementary PreK-2
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!

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.

Reading
Writing Non-Native
Spanish Speakers, but can be adapted for Native/Heritage Speakers This foundational
textbook is designed for advanced, non-native high school students, but can be
used with native speakers in mixed classes. The goals of the literature-based
text are to introduce students to Latin American and Spanish literature and to
improve grammar and fluency in Spanish. Reading selections are authentic
excerpts or entire pieces and vocabulary is academic.
The text consists
of 14 chapters based on literary themes that include personal idiosyncrasies,
superstitions, pivotal childhood experiences, cultural diversity and tolerance,
and dream vs. reality. Each chapter begins with a presentation of new vocabulary
that will be encountered in that chapter's reading. Almost all definitions are
written in Spanish and contextualized examples are also provided. Two exercises
that reinforce the vocabulary follow; the first follows a fill-in-the-blank
format and the second asks open-ended questions that elicit use of new
words.
Presentation of reading strategies or a brief advance organizer as
well as a biographical sketch of the author introduces a chapter's reading.
Represented writers include Jorge Luis Borges, Isabel Allende, Laura Esquivel
and Mario Vargas Llosa. Selections of poetry and prose vary in length from 150
to 3000 words. Glosses are provided mostly in Spanish. Readings are supported by
comprehension and discussion questions that facilitate determining main ideas,
summarizing, making inferences and extending themes to a more global context.
Communicative activities related to literary themes are provided and include
roleplay and debate. Two or three possible composition topics are also
presented.
Each chapter contains presentation of three to five grammar
topics. Each topic is introduced by means of several sentential examples
followed by an explanation in Spanish of that structure's function and
formation. Accompanying activities include fill-in-the-blanks, English-Spanish
translation and sentence production. Some open-ended exercises and interactive
activities enable students to create with a newly presented structure
individually or in groups. Grammar exercises often are connected with characters
or themes from the chapter's reading. Review exercises combine use of a
chapter's structures in sentence and paragraph completion as well as short
answer format.

Native/Heritage Spanish Speakers
This foundational text is designed for heritage speakers of Spanish.
Complimentary upon adoption of the text are an instructor's cassette and
resource manual. The cassette contains oral texts and an introduction to
regional dialect, and the manual includes ideas for activities, a tape script, a
syllabus, a sample test, games, vocabulary expansion exercises, and suggestions
for student evaluation. The text takes an interactive, thematic approach and
focuses on development of all four language skills. "Entre Mundos" is divided
into an introduction and 21 chapters. Chapter themes include individual
differences, family in crisis, college, careers and Hispanic communities.
Each chapter begins with an "Exploraciones" opener section that serves
as an advance organizer for the chapter's content. Activity formats in this
section include personalized questions, quick-writes, surveys and interviews.
The opener of each chapter is followed by an authentic reading
selection. In early "Lecturas" the focus is on identifying main ideas and
supporting detail. The difficulty of the selections increases in later chapters
in which more abstract concepts are introduced and activities require more
analysis, synthesis and higher-order thinking skills. Reading selections include
a survey, magazine and newspaper articles, short stories and excerpts of
literary texts. Vocabulary is academic and includes idiomatic expressions.
Dialectal variation is discussed throughout the text.
Grammar is taught
inductively and interactively. Grammar topics include problematic spelling,
syllabification, subjunctive mood and passive voice. Supporting exercises
provide both academic and real-world tasks. While some have a focus-on-form
approach, many synthesizing activities are real-life tasks that require more
global application of language knowledge.

("Cuaderno de actividades," ISBN: 0133399613; "Audio Cassette," ISBN:
0137693818; "Transcript for Cassettes," ISBN: 0130855774). The material in the
textbook focuses on US Hispanics, and includes narrations that trace the daily
activities and thoughts of two Hispanic college students. There are also several
authentic readings written by Hispanic authors. The goals of this skills-based
textbook include developing reading and writing skills and expanding linguistic
knowledge of Spanish.
The text is divided into 20 chapters and is
sequenced with a focus on spelling, accentuation and vocabulary development in
the first ten chapters and a focus on grammar in the last ten chapters. The
chapters may be completed sequentially or in alternation. English directions and
explanations are used in the first three chapters with transition to all Spanish
starting with Chapter 4. Vocabulary is academic with some dialectal variation
discussed throughout the text.
Each chapter begins with a brief
narration about events and issues in the life of a young US Hispanic. Themes of
these narrations include family, education, relationships, addictions and the
future. Closed-ended questions check comprehension of the narrations and
open-ended questions are also provided to facilitate more extensive
self-expression. The first ten chapters present spelling and accentuation rules.
Pronunciation rules for individual letters and diphthongs are explained and
accompanied by lists of words. Some practice activities are provided for
syllabification and accentuation and associated activity book exercises are
cross-referenced in the text. Extensive grammatical explanations are presented
along with English equivalents and verb paradigms. Students are referred to the
activity book for corresponding exercises.
Authentic reading passages of
varying themes appear in every chapter, several of which are written by US
Hispanic authors. Exercises that address comprehension and analysis of the text
as well as lexical development appear in the supplementary activity
book.

This manual accompanies the third edition of "Horizontes" and is designed
for bilingual students at the university level. (There is a 2001, 4th Edition of
"Horizontes" available, ISBN/ISSN 0-8384-1466-4.) Using a literature- and
grammar-based approach, its goals are to expand academic reading and writing
skills.
The manual consists of four units, each with introductory
reading, spelling, grammar and composition subsections with approximately 30
supporting activities per unit. Introductory readings are authentic short
stories that range in length from 1,000 to 2,700 words. Authors represented are
José Emilio Pacheco, Silvia Molina, Horacio Quiroga and Marina Mayoral.
Pre-reading activities prepare students for the selection and open-ended
questions encourage oral interaction on themes related to the reading. Most
post-reading questions are structured and focus on summarizing and identifying
main ideas while some are open-ended and require higher-order thinking skills.
Spelling sections emphasize syllabification and accentuation, diphthongs
and problematic letters and letter combinations. Spanish and English spellings
are compared to address English interference. Spelling exercises include word
search, matching, word completion, sentence manipulation, and sentence and
paragraph writing.
Grammar explanations are presented in Spanish with
paradigms, formulas and examples. Supporting activities are contextualized and
frequently require students to create their own sentential or suprasentential
contexts to practice a particular grammar point. Exercise formats include guided
writing of sentences and paragraphs, fill-in-the-blanks and sentence
manipulation. The final subsection of each unit presents a topic for writing and
cues to follow in order to incorporate grammatical structures reviewed in that
unit.

non-native high school students. Reading selections are authentic, including
articles, poetry and literary excerpts, and follow the themes of the textbook's
chapters. There are three or four reading selections (length varies from
approximately 100 to approximately 1,000 words) that correspond to each textbook
chapter. Some of the selections are recorded on a supplementary audiotape.
Advance organizers introduce the content of each reading and explicitly
relate it to the theme of the corresponding textbook chapter. Pre-reading
activities include making predictions, commenting on accompanying photographs
and using the photos to make inferences. Notes about the genre of the reading
and a biographical sketch of its author are also provided. Three to five
post-reading questions, some of which are structured and closed-ended, others of
which are open-ended, serve to check comprehension, ask students' opinions of
the reading and allow students to expand on the content of the passage. Further
open-ended topics are suggested to generate class discussion of some aspect or
extension of a reading's theme.

This Spanish native speaker workbook supplements "Juntos Dos," a second
year introductory text for non-native high school students, but which can be
used for native speakers as well. The approach of the activities in this
workbook is communicative as they seek to expand native speakers' speaking,
writing and reading proficiency as well as linguistic accuracy. Activities
correspond to material in the text and differ from activities in the non-native
activity book in that they require more production in Spanish in the performance
of open-ended writing tasks. Formats of these tasks include creating dialogs,
describing personal experiences connected to chapter themes, writing a letter
and creating a "sopa de letras" vocabulary puzzle.
Grammar sections
provide brief, non-technical summaries of grammar explanations presented in the
text. Supporting exercises take the format of writing paragraphs that
incorporate a targeted structure, dialog completion and fill-in-the-blanks, for
example.
Additional writing tasks supplement those presented in the
textbook and include writing a journal entry, an autobiography from the
perspective of a notable historic figure and a description of an ideal location.
Sections devoted to improving native-speaker spelling and writing are
included in this workbook. These sections focus on accentuation, commonly
confused letters, synonyms, derivations, false cognates, uppercase vs.
lowercase, homophones and homonyms.
There is also a "Cuaderno para

Non-Native Spanish Speakers, but can be adapted for Native/Heritage
Speakers This
foundational textbook is for beginning non-native high school students, but can
be adapted for native Spanish speakers in mixed classes. Ancillary materials
include an activity book for non-natives (ISBN: 0-13-434967-9), a workbook
called "Cuaderno para hispanohablantes" (ISBN: 0-13-415654-4), a reader called
"Lecturas para hispanohablantes" (ISBN: 0-13-415621-8), "Lecturas para
hispanohablantes Teacher's Guide" (ISBN: 0-13-415647-1) and text-related "Juntos
Magazines" (ISBN: 0-13-415605-6). The textbook can be purchased separately or in
a Student Value Pack (ISBN: 0-13-434786-2), which comes with the textbook, a
student activity book and the magazine. The entire Student Value Pack costs
$48.97.
Using a communicative approach, the text seeks to develop
proficiency in the four language skills. It is divided into a preliminary lesson
and six units that focus on a particular country or region of the
Spanish-speaking world. Featured regions are Mexico, Texas, Puerto Rico, the
U.S., Spain, and Peru, Argentina and Chile. Each unit consists of two chapters
and chapter themes include student life, mass media, celebrations and pastimes.
Vocabulary is basic and functional with occasional inclusion of regional slang.
The preliminary lesson provides basic and "survival" vocabulary such as
greetings and introductions, asking and giving directions, interrogatives,
numbers and commands. Interactive exercises practice vocabulary, mostly in the
format of information exchange with a classmate.
Each unit and chapter
opens with a photograph from the region in focus and an advance organizer that
presents (in English) the unit's objectives. Following the opening page is
vocabulary needed to converse with a classmate about the chapter theme.
Vocabulary is presented in Spanish with visual cues or as bilingual word lists.
Captioned photographs present cultural information related to both the chapter
theme and the unit's featured region. Accompanying these photographs are
communicative activities that further practice new vocabulary in context.
Activity formats include information exchange and class surveys. Further
vocabulary-building activities relate to a color illustration and exercise
formats include designing a collage, creating a dialog and sharing information
with a partner.
Grammar explanations are brief and presented in English.
Bilingual examples and verb paradigms support explanations. Communicative
activities practice new structures in context in formats such as interview, oral
question/answer and guided dialog. Each grammar point is supported by three
reinforcing activities.
Brief reading materials such as a weather
forecast, letter from a friend and a travel brochure provide context for further
practice with new vocabulary and grammar. Interactive exercises include planning
for a trip, preparing for an in-class meal and making weekend plans. Culminating
activities for each chapter present a task whose completion involves application
of the content of that chapter. Such projects include drawing up plans for an
ideal house, painting a mural, planning a group excursion in Mexico and creating
a collage.
Each unit contains a cultural reading, writing task and
culminating activity. Readings are created to relate to chapter vocabulary and
grammar and are supported by pre- and post-reading activities whose formats
include open-ended questions that activate prior knowledge and relate readings
to personal experience, true/false, and locating specific information within a
reading. Several writing tasks are suggested for each unit and include
exchanging e-mails with a class in Puerto Rico, writing a friendly letter,
designing a poster and writing a description of "tejana" music. Culminating unit
activities are creative in nature and include making a piñata, preparing tacos
in class and painting Spanish "azulejos."
Appearing as appendices are
irregular verb lists and Spanish-English, English-Spanish
glossaries.

This reader accompanies the "Juntos Uno" introductory textbook (ISBN:
0-13-838905-5) for non-native high school students. Reading selections are
authentic, including articles, poetry, songs, literary excerpts and legends, and
follow the themes of the textbook's chapters. There are three or four reading
selections (length varies from approximately 100 to approximately 1,000 words)
that correspond to each textbook chapter. Some of the selections are recorded on
a supplementary audiotape.
Advance organizers introduce the content of
each reading and explicitly relate it to the theme of the corresponding textbook
chapter. Pre-reading activities include making predictions, commenting on
accompanying photographs and using the photos to make inferences. Notes about
the genre of the reading and a biographical sketch of its author are also
provided. Three to five post-reading questions, some of which are structured and
closed-ended, others of which are open-ended, serve to check comprehension, ask
students' opinions of the reading and allow students to expand on the content of
the passage. Further open-ended topics are suggested to generate class
discussion of some aspect or extension of a reading's theme.

This native speaker workbook supplements "Juntos Uno" (ISBN:
0-13-838905-5), an introductory text for non-native high school students. The
approach of the activities is communicative as they seek to expand native
speakers' speaking, writing and reading proficiency as well as linguistic
accuracy. Activities correspond to material in the text and differ from
activities in the non-native activity book in that they require more production
in Spanish in the performance of open-ended writing tasks. Formats of these
tasks include creating dialogs, inventing matching exercises that correspond to
chapter vocabulary, writing definitions for words in crossword puzzles and
describing personal experiences connected to chapter themes.
Grammar
sections provide brief, non-technical summaries of grammar explanations
presented in the text. Most supporting exercises take the format of completing
verb paradigms or combining elements into complete sentences.
Additional
writing tasks supplement those presented in the textbook and include writing new
lyrics for a favorite song, putting the steps of a recipe in logical order,
creating an expressive dialog and writing a figurative description.
Basic study skills such as using a dictionary, organizing study
materials and taking notes are discussed. Brief pointers are written in Spanish
and short exercises prepare students to implement the skills
presented.
There is also a "Cuaderno para hispanohablantes (SSS Workbook,

Both Native/Heritage and Non-Native Spanish Speakers This work of fiction traces
the life of Esperanza Cordero, a young girl discovering her identity and facing
her future as she grows up with adversity in a Latino barrio in Chicago. The
writing paints the barrio as both a harsh reality and a place of beauty and is
written from the point of view of a young woman struggling to transcend the
mentality that has created the low expectations she sees have been set for her.
The story is divided into 44 brief, subtitled chapters of 100 to 400 words.
Vocabulary is academic and colloquial. It has been translated from English to

Native/Heritage Spanish Speakers
This text is written for Hispanic students educated in the US, who speak
Spanish at home, and want to further develop their formal language knowledge.
The book is divided into 22 chapters, each one focusing on a particular
Spanish-speaking country or Hispanic group. Reading selections of 800 to 1,000
words written in standard academic Spanish provide information about the
featured country or culture and serve as a departure point for discussion,
writing and grammar activities. The instructional approach integrates language
and content with relatively strong emphasis on grammar.
Two pre-reading
exercises (containing 5-10 questions each) prepare students for a chapter's
reading and may be completed orally or in writing. Many of the questions are
open-ended and involve higher order thinking, others require students to skim or
scan the text to locate specific information. A set of 7-12 questions follows
each reading to check comprehension of the content of the passage. A second set
of questions can serve to extend discussion of the reading. Several themes and
trivia snippets related to a reading are also provided in each chapter as
options for additional research, writing assignments or discussion topics.
In vocabulary building activities students match synonyms, identify
words that do not belong to a group, or relate words from the reading with
definitions provided in an exercise. A section of each chapter is devoted to
addressing the problems that English interference creates for native Spanish
speakers. Topics covered in these sections include common spelling mistakes,
false cognates and grammatical errors that result from code switching. Exercises
in these sections frequently involve English-Spanish translation and also
include sentence completion, fill-in-the-blanks, and substitution of equivalent
expressions within a sentence.
Most chapters contain a section of
"semejanzas y contrastes" in which cognates and false cognates are addressed as
well as Spanish-English contrasts such as compound adjectives, the various
translations of the verb 'take,' Spanish and English expressions with 'time,'
and Spanish equivalents of the verb 'get.' Reinforcement exercises are formatted
as sentence completion or English-Spanish translation.
Grammar
explanations are accompanied by examples and items in focus (e.g., irregular
participles, verbs with spelling changes, irregular comparatives) are presented
paradigmatically or as lists. Discrete point grammar exercises follow
explanations and formats include word and sentence manipulation, sentence
completion and translation. Each chapter also has a section devoted to improving
spelling and presentation and exercises focus on homophones as well as correct
punctuation and accentuation.

from a variety of Spanish-speaking countries (the US, Honduras, Venezuela,
Guatemala, Perú, Spain, Mexico and Argentina) and related songs composed by the
author. The book contains Spanish and English versions of each of the 10 legends
along with words and music to the accompanying songs. Each legend is
approximately 1000 words in length and is introduced by a full-page
illustration. Vocabulary and structure are intermediate to advanced, intended
for nonnative learners who are relatively comfortable with the language.
Spanish-English and English-Spanish glossaries are included at the end of the
book.

character in the legend. All songs are sung in Spanish, but English translations
are provided in addition to the Spanish lyrics.
Activity masters include two
activities for each legend, one related to the legend itself and the other to
the song. Activities offer opportunities for listening and reading
comprehension, draw upon student creativity and practice grammatical structures
to some extent within the context of a comprehension activity. Activities are
interactive in nature, many designed to be completed cooperatively and/or shared
with the class. Explanations of activities and directions for the tasks are
written in English.
The book, CD and activity masters set is $31.95. To

college-level heritage speakers who can comprehend and produce Spanish, but who
have had little or no formal instruction in the language. Other ancillary
materials in the "Nuevos Destinos" series are an audiocassette program, a
task-based CD-ROM program, an optional reader entitled "Voces hispánicas:
Historias personales," and an instructor's manual and picture file.
Using
a video-based approach, the materials' goals are to expand reading, writing and
communication skills as well as to further students' linguistic knowledge of
Spanish and to enrich their cultural knowledge. The workbook is divided into a
preliminary chapter and 15 subsequent chapters that correspond to the textbook
and episodes of the video upon which the series is based. Many workbook
activities focus on listening skills and thus require the supplementary
audiocassette program.
Each chapter begins with vocabulary-building
exercises that include puzzles, definition writing, using words in original
sentences, and word association. Video-based activities in the workbook
supplement those found in the textbook. Additional listening exercises include
interviews with the actresses who play the main characters in the "telenovela."
Structured grammar exercises build upon and reinforce textbook
presentations of grammar. Exercise formats include translation, sentence
production/completion and short answer activities that incorporate use of the
audiocassette. Additional activities address dialectal variation and spelling
issues of native speakers. Writing activities that supplement textbook exercises
lead students through the process of writing through brainstorming, writing a
draft and refining the final copy of an essay. Writing strategies and checklists
are presented to facilitate the editing process. Included at the end of each
workbook chapter are Websites related to the theme of that chapter.

This foundational intermediate college text has an accompanying workbook
(ISBN: 0-395-96468-7), CD-ROMs (0-618-00421-1), audio cassettes (0-618-01804-2),
an instructor's resource manual (0-395-96469-5), a 60-minute video
(0-395-96474-1) and a text-specific website <www.hmco.com/college> with
resources for students and instructors. The textbook is almost identical to
"Nuestro Mundo" (ISBN: 0-618-08589-0) and is intended for heritage speakers and
for courses conducted in Spanish; the text, including the grammar manual at the
end of the book, is written entirely in Spanish.
The goals of "Mundo 21"
are to expand students' historical and cultural knowledge, improve critical
thinking and oral and written communication skills and refine grammar. The book
uses a content-based approach and provides learner-centered activities in which
students interact in pairs and groups. The text is divided into 8 units of 3
lessons each. Each lesson focuses on a particular Hispanic group (Chicanos,
Puerto Rican Americans, Cuban Americans) or a Spanish- speaking country and
opens with an historical and cultural overview of the group or region in focus.
Closed- and open-ended questions follow the overview to check comprehension and
relate the information to students' experiences. Open-ended questions involve
higher order thinking skills as students hypothesize, make inferences and defend
opinions in pairs or groups.
Important figures from each group or
country are highlighted in short biographies and literary figures' writing is
incorporated as the lessons' primary readings. These readings are preceded by
activities to prepare students for the reading as well as brief biographical
sketches of the authors. Readings are authentic and vary in length from 300 to
1500 words; vocabulary is academic with inclusion of idiomatic expressions.
Postreading questionnaires verify comprehension with structured questions about
reading content. Open-ended questions facilitate analysis of themes and require
critical thinking on the part of students. Various literary devices are
discussed after reading selections and supporting activities refer students back
to the reading to examine that device in context.
Sections 'Para mejorar
la comunicación' present thematic vocabulary essential for meeting particular
communicative goals. These goals include talking about film, literature, music,
family and foreign travel. Several Spanish examples are presented with parallel
English translations. Process writing sections in the second lesson of each unit
guide students through the steps of writing in such modes as description,
contrast by analogy, poetry and short story. This section draws from readings
and discussions of literary devices presented in the unit's lessons. Writing
strategies are presented concisely along with structural exercises that review
grammar essential for the mode in which students are writing. These exercises
are designed to be completed in pairs before students revise the first draft of
a writing task.
Pre- and postviewing activities are included in the
first and third lesson of each unit to accompany video clips about prominent
Hispanics. Detailed grammar explanations appear in the appendix along with
practice exercises in formats such as guided sentence writing,
fill-in-the-blanks and paragraph completion. Structured activities in the
grammar manual reinforce the vocabulary and cultural content of the
corresponding lesson as well as the structural information found in this
appendix. The format of exercises in the grammar manual is largely sentence/
paragraph completion or transformation and fill-in-the-blanks. The grammar
manual contains the same material as in the "Mundo 21" edition for non-native
speakers, but it is supplemented by special notes for bilinguals that compare
Spanish and English structures. Contrastive examples are given in Spanish and
English.

Native/Heritage Spanish Speakers
This foundational textbook is designed for native-speaking high school
students with some prior study of Spanish. Using a thematic approach, the book
seeks to develop the four language skills.
The text is divided into 14
thematic chapters, the last two of which are repeated in the second textbook in
this series. Each chapter opens with a thematic reading; themes include
geography, literature, taxes, climate and weather, and ecology. Supporting
activities offer task-based, cross-disciplinary use of Spanish to, for example,
discuss different value systems, prepare a budget, and describe the vitamin
content of a typical diet. Other supporting exercises check comprehension of the
content of a reading and offer vocabulary building activities.
Grammar
explanations are supported by examples and brief practice exercises. There are
also sections devoted to regionalisms and vulgarisms as well as spelling and
punctuation. Grammar exercises are most often sentential-level and presented in
formats such as fill-in-the-blanks, sentence transformation and original
sentence generation. Lists of words are provided for spelling practice and
formats include error correction, syllabification and accentuation
activities.
Cultural reading selections relate in some way to the opening
reading; topics featured include Simón Bolívar, holidays, biographies of
contemporary Hispanics and Hispanic ethnic groups. Readings are followed by
structured comprehension exercises as well as interactive, cooperative
activities such as drawing a map, expressing and defending an opinion, analyzing
a metaphor, and creating a menu of ethnic foods.
Literary selections are
authentic and include legend, poetry, short stories and excerpts from longer
works. Readings are introduced through biographical sketches of their authors.
Post reading questions facilitate analysis and interpretation of the text and
activity formats include rewriting a poem in prose, making inferences and
drawing a figurative or abstract illustration for a reading selection.
Structured comprehension questions and vocabulary-building activities accompany
some reading selections as well.
Synthesizing activities, many of which
are interactive, relate cultural or linguistic content of a chapter to students'
own experience and include dramatizing an adventure from Don Quijote, writing a
formal letter to suggest steps to solve an environmental problem, composing and
presenting an original poem, and debating the fairness of professional athletes'
salaries. Chapters also include articles and advertisements from Spanish
language newspapers and magazines for recreational
reading.

Native/Heritage Spanish Speakers
This foundational text is designed for college level heritage speakers
who can comprehend and produce Spanish, but who have had little or no formal
instruction in the language. Ancillary materials are a workbook, "Manual que
acompaña Nuevos Destinos: Español para hispanohablantes" (ISBN: 0-07-027505-X),
an audiocassette program, a task-based CD-ROM program, an optional reader,
"Voces hispánicas: Historias personales," and an instructor's manual and picture
file.
Using a video-based approach, the materials' goals are to expand
reading, writing and communication skills as well as to further students'
linguistic knowledge of Spanish and to enrich their cultural knowledge. The
four-hour video is divided into fifteen 15-minute episodes of an original
"telenovela" that tells the story of a family mystery whose investigation is
undertaken by a Mexican-American lawyer in Los Angeles and a lawyer in Mexico
City.
The text is divided into a preliminary chapter and 15 subsequent
chapters that correspond to the episodes of the "telenovela." The first page of
each chapter shows a photograph of the episode that will be viewed for that
chapter and students guess at the plot of the episode. Introductory
communicative activities present the featured theme (e.g., careers, nutrition,
women and society, holidays and traditions,...) of a chapter. Pre- and
post-viewing activities provide short-answer review and comprehension questions
as well as vocabulary building activities that include writing definitions of
words encountered in the video and using those words in original sentences.
Interactive open-ended activities related to the video including roleplay and
making inferences are also provided.
A grammar section in each chapter
contains one to three grammar presentations, often contrasting Spanish and
English structures. Accompanying activities provide form-focused and open-ended
exercises; formats include sentence/paragraph completion, conducting an
interview with a classmate, explaining the use of a particular structure in
context and writing a personal ad. An answer key for form-focused exercises is
included as an appendix.
Reading selections provide sociolinguistic as
well as cultural information about Hispanic groups in the U.S. or a particular
region of the Spanish-speaking world. Readings offer portraits of historic as
well as contemporary figures in the arts and sciences. Authentic literary
selections appear in some chapters and are accompanied by pre- and post-reading
activities. Topics for writing are presented in each chapter and associated
activities provide the basis for compositions that are assigned in the manual
that supplements the "Nuevos Destinos" text.
In a communicative activity
at the end of each chapter students return to what they had anticipated about
the "telenovela" episode at the beginning of the chapter and compare with what
actually occurred.

Native/Heritage Spanish Speakers
This foundational text is designed for use by intermediate or advanced
Hispanic bilingual college students whose dominant language is English, but
whose home language is Spanish. It can also be adapted for use by
high-intermediate and advanced non-native learners. A supplementary workbook
created for bilingual students is available and contains exercises in spelling
and grammar and practice with vocabulary topics such as false cognates,
Anglicisms and idiomatic expressions. The textbook's homepage
<www.wiley.com/college/nuevosmundos> provides links to Websites related to
material in the text.
The text is appropriate for a one- or two-semester
college course, depending on how much material the instructor selects to cover.
The material can be adapted for a content- or theme-based instructional approach
and focuses on expanding reading and communication skills.
The book is
divided into eight chapters that are subdivided into five sections. Each chapter
highlights a particular Hispanic group or a theme such as multicultural
heritage, human rights, and women and culture. Each chapter begins with an
advance organizer in the form of a multiple-choice questionnaire whose answers
are provided at the end of the exercise. The first section of a chapter,
"Conversación y cultura" introduces the cultural content of the chapter; a
cultural reading of between 500 and 1,000 words is followed by "mesa redonda"
questions and topics for small group or pair discussions. A longer, authentic
literary text constitutes the second section of a chapter, "Lectura." A variety
of literary genres are represented in these sections, including poetry, essays,
short stories and journalistic pieces. A brief biography of the author and
pre-reading questions introduce a selection. Readings are followed by questions
suitable for written or oral commentary and involve higher order thinking
skills. Vocabulary in the reading selections is academic and includes idiomatic
expressions; passages are accompanied by Spanish-Spanish glosses.
In the third section, "Mundos
hispanos," a brief reading features a personality or topic related to the
chapter's theme. Communicative activities (written and oral) accompany these
readings and often involve use of outside sources such as film or
music.
The fourth section, "El arte de ser bilingüe," provides
suggestions for further practice of oral and written communication. Activities
include debate, roleplay, editorial writing and preparing a CV. The final
section of a chapter, "Unos pasos más: fuentes y recursos," presents lists of
resources in print and on video to further investigate the theme of that
chapter. Suggestions for activities and projects that utilize the resources are
provided as well.
The book includes appendices that include a list of
dictionaries, cultural and media resources, and Websites in Spanish and
English.

Writing Both Native/Heritage and Non-Native
Spanish Speakers This
foundational text is for advanced, native and non-native speakers in third- or
fourth-year college courses or in high school advanced placement language
courses. This text is supplemented by a CD-ROM (ISBN: 0-395-92695-5), which
comes with the textbook.
The textbook is literature-based and uses
reading as a point of departure for writing. The primary instructional goal is
to develop academic writing proficiency, and students proceed from "informal
interaction" to "academic written expression" in each chapter. The text takes a
process approach to writing.
The textbook is divided into 7 theme-based
chapters and has an introductory chapter to familiarize students with the text's
format. The themes are: relationships, family, society, women and society,
magical realism, the Latino experience in the US, and Latino
identity.
Reading selections are authentic and cover a variety of genres
including essays, interviews, short stories, research papers and articles. The
chapters incorporate interactive pre- and post-reading discussion activities
with a focus on critical thinking skills. Grammar is addressed functionally, as
a means to improve the overall quality of students' writing. Activities (many of
which are interactive) that accompany grammar discussions range from text
analysis to fill-in-the-blanks. Writing activities lead students through the
process of writing in each chapter's target genre. Vocabulary is academic with
the inclusion of idioms within the context of strategies that writers use to
communicate in a particular register or tone.
The accompanying CD-ROM
reproduces the process writing section of each chapter as rich text format
(.rtf) files that are compatible with and open in software programs designed for
processing text files. Themes for student writings are drawn from the text's
reading selections. Several themes are suggested for a chapter's writing task
and subsequent questions, pair activities and strategy presentations lead
students from brainstorming to free writing, first draft to final copy.
Suggestions are given in each chapter for students to keep a "carpeta de
escritura" of notes for improvement on future writing tasks. Activities can be
completed with or without the CD-ROM.

intended for beginning non-native Spanish learners at the high school level, but
may be adapted for use in mixed classes of natives and non-natives. The
teacher's edition offers suggestions and additional questioning techniques to
provide more of a challenge for native speakers. "Paso a paso" takes a thematic
approach to building vocabulary and introducing grammatical structures to novice
learners. The text is divided by theme into an introductory unit and 14
chapters. Themes include friendship, school, home, parties and celebrations, and
community. Vocabulary is basic and functional and related to the chapters'
themes.
Color photographs from Spanish-speaking regions open each
chapter and are accompanied by brief cultural explanations and questions that
encourage students to compare cultures. The communicative objectives of the
chapter are presented on this opening page as well. Both cultural explanations
and chapter objectives are written in English.
Labeled illustrations
introduce new vocabulary and additional vocabulary needed to meet the chapter's
communicative objectives is provided as bilingual word lists. Vocabulary lists
often address dialectal variation with provision of synonyms. Pair activities
facilitate practicing vocabulary in context. In these activities partners
converse by manipulating or rewording a model dialog according to presented
cues. Written exercises practice vocabulary in formats such as categorizing new
words and responding to short answer questions.
Grammar is presented in context
by means of captioned photos or illustrations. Target structures are included in
the captions and accompanying questions lead students to compare structures and
infer and explain grammar rules from the captions. This grammar in context is
supplemented by formal grammar explanations, additional examples and verb
paradigms. Communicative grammar exercises related to the chapter's theme follow
grammar explanations. Students follow visual and/or written cues to practice the
new structure in writing or in conversation with a partner. Additional
activities to practice vocabulary and grammar are included as an appendix in the
back of the book. These activities do not appear in the 1996 edition of this
text, but can be found on and printed from the text-specific Website.
Suggestions for activities that synthesize a chapter's grammar points
are provided in each chapter. These activities often incorporate some cultural
component such as art or geography.
Chapters also include reading
activities that are accompanied by presentation of reading strategies and
exercises to check comprehension. Exercises involve scanning and skimming
techniques to locate specific information as well as closed-ended questions.
More open-ended questions facilitate applying what was read in real-life or
hypothetical situations. Reading strategies and questions are written in English
and reading selections appear in Spanish. Selections are authentic and include
advertisements, brochures and brief articles of 100 to 200 words.
Writing activities lead students step by step to organize and write in
forms that include a review, diary entry and short essay. Topics suggested
relate to chapter themes.
Included as appendices are verb lists with full conjugations in
present and preterit, English-Spanish and Spanish-English glossaries, and
supplementary practice and homework exercises.

structures to novice learners. The text is divided by theme into 14 chapters.
Themes include childhood, leisure activities, accidents and illness, travel and
the future. Vocabulary is basic and functional and related to the chapters'
themes.
Color photographs from Spanish-speaking regions open each
chapter and are accompanied by brief cultural explanations and questions that
encourage students to compare cultures. The communicative objectives of the
chapter are presented on this opening page as well. Cultural snippets are
written in Spanish and chapter objectives in English.
Labeled
illustrations introduce new vocabulary and additional vocabulary needed to meet
the chapter's communicative objectives is provided as bilingual word lists.
Vocabulary lists often address dialectal variation with provision of synonymous
terms used in different countries. Pair activities facilitate practicing
vocabulary in context. In these activities partners converse by manipulating or
rewording a model dialog according to presented cues. Short-answer questions
(mostly closed-ended) provide written practice of new vocabulary.
A
"Perspectiva cultural" section provides a cultural reading of approximately 200
words that relates to the chapter's theme and vocabulary. Explanations of
customs and ways of life are followed by questions that ask students to compare
their experience with that of people in Spanish-speaking countries. The
text-specific Website offers activities and links to sites that are relevant to
the cultural content of these sections.
Grammar is introduced in context
by means of captioned photos or illustrations. Target structures are included in
the captions and accompanying questions lead students to compare structures and
infer and explain grammar rules from the captions. This grammar in context is
supplemented by formal grammar explanations, additional examples and verb
paradigms. Communicative grammar exercises related to the chapter's theme follow
grammar explanations. Students follow visual and/or written cues to practice the
new structure in writing or in conversation with a partner. Additional
activities to practice vocabulary and grammar are included as an appendix in the
back of the book. These activities do not appear in the 1996 edition of this
text, but can be found on and printed from the text-specific Website.
Suggestions for activities that synthesize a chapter's grammar points
are provided in each chapter. These activities often incorporate some cultural
component such as art or geography.
Chapters also include reading
activities that are accompanied by presentation of reading strategies and
exercises to check comprehension. Exercises involve scanning and skimming
techniques to locate specific information as well as closed-ended questions.
More open-ended questions facilitate applying what was read in real-life or
hypothetical situations. Reading strategies and questions are written in English
and reading selections appear in Spanish. Selections are authentic and include
advertisements, poems and brief articles of 100 to 200 words.
Writing
activities lead students step by step to organize and write in forms that
include a tourist guide, letter and short essay. Topics suggested relate to
chapter themes.
Included as appendices are verb lists with full
conjugations in all of the tenses presented in the text, English-Spanish and
Spanish-English glossaries, and supplementary practice and homework
exercises.

Non-Native Spanish Speakers, but can be adapted for Native/Heritage
Speakers
This reader is written for nonnative students, but can be adapted for
native speakers as well. The goals of the reader are to develop reading,
speaking and writing skills and to provide a survey of Hispanic American
civilization from pre-Columbian cultures to the 1980's.
The book's eight
chapter's are divided into two parts. The first covers geography, pre-Columbian
cultures, Spanish conquest and colonization through the independence movement.
Part II traces history from the early 20th century to the 1980's and includes
discussion of arts and literature, economic problems and development, ethnic
groups and politics. Themes such as the role of the Catholic Church, dialectal
variation, women and youth in society and mass media are also addressed.
Vocabulary is academic and readings, which were written by the author, average
7,000 words in length; they are sub-headed to facilitate dividing of the
reading. Each selection is accompanied by black and white photos and followed by
a Spanish-English glossary as well as many structured comprehension questions.
Several topics are suggested for composition and discussion or debate
related to the content of a chapter's reading. Students' own knowledge and
experience is often drawn into a writing or discussion activity.
Exercises review grammar that it is assumed students have learned
elsewhere and provide contextualized practice of grammatical structures that
appear in the readings. Exercise formats include sentence/paragraph completion,
matching, and text transformation.

Non-Native Spanish Speakers, but can be adapted for Native/Heritage

foundational textbook is supplemented by a text-specific video, a preview copy
of which may be requested through McGraw Hill Higher Education representatives.
Other ancillary materials are a workbook/laboratory manual, an audio program and
an instructor's manual. Contact a McGraw-Hill representative for more details
regarding these materials.
The textbook is written for non-native,
intermediate-level (second-year) university students, adaptable for use by
native speakers, and seeks to improve proficiency by expanding vocabulary and
increasing grammatical accuracy. Its instructional approach is based on the idea
of task repetition; the seven communicative tasks recycled throughout the text
are describing, comparing, reacting and recommending, narrating in the past,
expressing likes and dislikes, hypothesizing, and talking about the future.
Vocabulary and grammar are presented in the context of support for achieving
these communicative functions.
The book is consists of a preliminary
unit and six theme-based chapters, each of which also features one of the
following regions of the Spanish-speaking world: Spain, the Caribbean, Mexico,
the Southern Cone of South America, the Andes region and Central America. The
preliminary unit introduces five friends whose lives are revisited throughout
the book as they meet at an Austin, TX coffee shop. Each subsequent chapter
contains an opening page that serves as an advance organizer for the chapter
theme. Communicative goals for that chapter are also listed. The theme is
presented in context by means of dialog between and among the five friends.
Activities follow to check comprehension with structured questions and to extend
discussion of the theme orally or in writing. Open-ended activity formats
include sentence completion, continuing the dialog, rewording a conversation and
roleplay.
Vocabulary related to the chapter theme is presented in
semantically grouped, bilingual wordlists. Lexical exercises reinforce new
vocabulary and formats of such activities include word classification, sentence
transformation and creating original contexts for new words. Additional
open-ended, interactive tasks connect new vocabulary to the five friends and
often require use of critical thinking skills.
Communicative activities
are labeled according to which of the seven recycled tasks they involve. These
activities are accompanied by additional vocabulary 'Para conversar mejor' and
draw students' own experience into discussion of the chapter theme. Many of
these activities practice and reinforce specific structures as they involve
task-essential vocabulary such as connecting words and relative pronouns.
The cultural content of each
chapter is associated with the region in focus and is presented in the form of
'Notas culturales,' biographical sketches of political figures and Hispanic
artists, and passages that relate some aspect of the featured region to the U.S.
Individual readings are approximately 250 words in length and average four per
chapter. Vocabulary is academic with inclusion of idiomatic expressions.
Cultural readings are supported by structured comprehension questions and/or
open-ended discussion questions.
The main grammar point, or 'Punto clave'
of a chapter is briefly introduced within the chapter and students are referred
to the book's appendices for further study and explanation. Explanations are
written in English and supported by examples. Discrete point exercises reinforce
each grammar explanation and answers to these exercises are provided in a
separate appendix. Exercise formats include fill-in-the-blanks, matching,
multiple choice and following cues to write sentences. More interactive,
contextualized activities to reinforce grammar points are included in the
chapters in formats such as dialog completion, expressing opinions, writing and
presenting a radio ad, and making comparisons.
The principal reading of
each chapter is connected in some way to the region in focus or to the chapter
theme. Readings are authentic, range in length and represent such formats as
articles, literary excerpts and short story. Readings are preceded by advance
organizer questions to generate conversation on the topic of the reading.
Readings are glossed with provision of English translations of words and
phrases. Post-reading comprehension questions follow true/false, short answer
formats. Longer readings are divided, with structured 'A verificar' questions to
check comprehension as students complete each section of a selection. Open-ended
activities facilitate interaction and extension of the theme of a reading in
formats such as hypothesizing in pairs, expressing opinions and dialog
invention.
Writing tasks are presented in three parts: brainstorming,
first draft and final copy. Suggested topics are related to the theme of a
chapter. Speaking tasks encourage students to prepare note cards of vocabulary
required to comment on the chapter theme and/or discuss it with classmates.
Suggested discussion topics are labeled according to which of the seven
communicative functions they involve.
Included as appendices are detailed grammatical explanations,
verb charts, answers to grammar exercises, and a Spanish-English glossary.

foundational textbook comes with an accompanying "Student Audio CD" and is
supplemented by a set of two activity manuals (also available in an electronic
version), a video, a CD-ROM, an Instructor's Manual, and a Website
<www.spanish.mhhe.com>. Icons appear throughout the book to signal
activities that integrate multimedia components. An electronic language tutor is
also available on floppy disk. The text is designed for beginning, non-native
college students, but can be adapted for use with native speakers. It uses an
interactive, information-based approach to develop communicative proficiency in
the four language skills.
The book is divided into a preliminary lesson
and six units of three lessons each. Each unit presents a theme and aspects of
that theme are explored in each of a unit's three lessons. Lesson sub-themes
include leisure activities, family, food, emotions, abuse and the future.
The opening page of a lesson presents its objectives and an advance
organizer of the cultural content of the lesson. Reference is also made to the
culminating "Intercambio" or "Composición" task toward which students will be
working throughout the lesson. Following the opening page are presentations of
the vocabulary and grammar that students will need to complete the lesson's
communicative tasks. Vocabulary is presented through labeled or captioned
illustrations with bilingual word lists for additional functional vocabulary.
Grammar explanations are brief and written in English; verb paradigms and
examples are provided also. Communicative activities accompany both vocabulary
and grammar presentations and facilitate practicing of new words and structures
in a real-world context. Exercises are interactive and frequently formatted as
information exchange activities. Directions for activities early in the text are
written in English and transition is made to all Spanish as students progress
through the lessons.
Additional open-ended activities related to lesson
themes offer questions, observations and situations to generate pair, small
group or whole-class discussion.
Reading selections (included in every
third lesson) are authentic materials such as magazine and newspaper articles of
approximately 400 words. Selections have been edited for length, but language
has not been simplified. Pre- and post-reading activities and presentation of
reading strategies support selections. Pre-reading exercises include making
predictions and previewing new vocabulary. Post-reading activities include
scanning to locate specific information, verifying predictions, identifying main
ideas and supporting detail (in later readings). Some post-reading activities
focus on synthesis and formats include completing information grids, writing
outlines, creating semantic maps and composing essays. Students are occasionally
referred back to a reading to examine language structures, organization of the
text, the author's intention, etc. Other post-reading activities serve to expand
upon the content or theme of a reading. Formats of such activities include
survey, information sharing and open-ended questions.
Cultural vignettes
appear throughout lessons and provide information about Hispanic cultures.
Activities accompany these sections and some snippets are recorded on the
student audiotape or CD. Culturally related World Wide Web links are also
provided in these sections.
Culminating "Intercambio" and "Composición"
tasks provide real-world application of lesson vocabulary and grammar.
"Intercambio" activities are designed to be carried out in pairs or in small
groups. "Composición" sections, which appear approximately every third lesson,
are guided writing tasks that include brainstorming, organization of ideas,
creating a first draft, editing and writing a final version.
Each lesson
concludes with a "Vistazos" section that includes two activities: an authentic
literary excerpt and an interview with a native speaker of Spanish. These
activities integrate multimedia components, with both recorded on the student
audiotape or CD and the interviews appearing on the videotape. The CD-ROM
contains interactive activities connected to the literary excerpts. Such
activities involve history, geographical, biographical and cultural
information.

Native/Heritage Spanish Speakers
This set of materials supplements the "Somos así, En sus marcas" text
(ISBN: 0-8219-1887-7) for non-native high school students at an introductory
level. The set includes an activity book for native speakers, a teacher's guide,
and a reader, "Marcelino pan y vino" by José María Sánchez-Silva. The activity
book contains four activities for each of the textbook's 20 lessons.
The
first activity for each lesson is 'Así es mi vida,' a brief free writing
exercise guided by questions that relate the theme of the textbook lesson to
students' personal experiences. The second activity, 'A escribir,' is a second
writing topic that incorporates lesson vocabulary or grammar in the context of
one or two paragraphs. Students are referred to pages of the textbook for
required vocabulary lists or appropriate grammatical structures. The third
activity, 'El Museo,' provides a topic for an oral report, creation of a poster,
roleplay, etc., that relates to the Spanish speaking country or region featured
in that lesson of the text. It is often suggested that students do independent
research as they complete the project. This activity is replaced in the first
four lessons by a presentation of study skills. The fourth activity, 'Juegos,'
consists of a crossword puzzle or word-search to practice the lesson's
vocabulary. Answers to these puzzles are provided in the teacher's guide.
Even numbered lessons include an excerpt from "Marcelino pan y vino"
(each excerpt of approximately 200 words in length) and these excerpts are
followed by three structured comprehension questions. Suggestions for related
tasks are also provided to extend the content of the reading. Tasks include
picture description, reporting the results of a sporting event and writing a
story.
The activity book includes appendices that provide suggestions
for additional projects, information regarding how to use the library, lists of
strategies for speaking, reading and writing, and eight evaluation forms to be
used with the book's activities.

Non-Native Spanish Speakers, but can be adapted for Native/Heritage
Speakers This
foundational text is appropriate for secondary school beginners. It is written
with non-native learners in mind, but includes ideas for teachers to use in
mixed classes of native and non-native speakers. Several of the suggestions
utilize native speakers as a resource for mixed classes, drawing upon the
experiences of native speakers either in their home country or in the
Spanish-speaking community. Enrichment for native speakers is the goal of many
of the suggested activities; ideas often involve students' doing independent
research or writing an essay on a topic of interest related to a lesson. The
text does not address the needs specific to language development of native or
heritage speakers.
Ancillary materials include a workbook (ISBN:
0-8219-1890-7), a teacher's resource kit with audiocassettes (ISBN:
0-8219-1891-5) or with CDs ISBN: 0-8219-1893-1), an audio program available on

IBM), a video program (ISBN: 0-8219-1907-5), overhead transparencies (ISBN:
0-8219-1909-1), a Spanish reader, "La familia Miranda- El viaje a Guatemala"
(ISBN: 0-8219-1258-5), an Internet Activities Web site and supplementary
materials for native speakers (ISBN: 0-8219-1899-0). The annotated teacher's
edition is also available on CD-ROM (ISBN: 0-8219-1966-0).
The "Somos
así" series takes a communicative approach with structured activities meant for
beginners. It is also standards-based, incorporating activities based on the
National Standards: Communication, Cultures, Connections, Comparisons and
Communities. Communicative exercises provide for working in pairs and small
groups; these activities allow students to create with the language. Other
activities encourage the integration of technology, frequently listing Web sites
that students may visit to expand on material presented in the text. Many
activities are grammar-based to practice new structures by means of
fill-in-the-blanks, pattern drills and sentence formation and completion. Most
directions and some questions for exercises are written in English, and at the
beginning of the book activities are often structured for students to respond in
English. Use of Spanish in both directions and in expected responses increases
as students progress through the book. The teacher's edition provides
supplementary activities that take into account multiple intelligences and
students with special needs.
The text is divided into 10 chapters of two
lessons each. Sections of the lessons focus on communicative goals, culture,
grammar, reading and writing. A brief illustrated paragraph or dialog presents
the theme of each chapter with related vocabulary and is followed by
comprehension questions and questions that relate the theme to students' own
experience.
Grammar points are presented in English and each new
structure's explanation is accompanied by several reinforcement exercises. Brief
reviews within grammar sections periodically recycle structures presented
previously and connect them to new material.
The cultural component of
each lesson focuses on a particular Spanish-speaking country and seeks to relate
some aspect of that culture to the language component of the lesson. Up to four
cultural vignettes are presented in English (with some Spanish vocabulary) in
each lesson. Follow-up activities are often completed in Spanish. A reading in
Spanish of approximately 150-200 words appears at the end of each chapter but
the first. The content of many of these readings is cultural while others are
more loosely connected to the culture highlighted in the lessons of a chapter.
Spanish readings are written with the instructional goals of the chapter in
mind. One authentic selection, however, is an excerpt of a poem with parallel
text in English.
Reading selections are preceded by related vocabulary
lists and a presentation of reading strategies. They are followed by questions
that check comprehension of a reading; such questions can be answered by
scanning the passage. Other questions relate the topic to students'
experiences.
Each chapter concludes with a guided writing activity.
Strategies and a topic are presented in English and are followed by focus
questions, ideas for representing ideas schematically, key words and phrases to
include in the essay, suggestions for enhancing the essay with art.

teacher's manual/activity book supplements the "Paso a paso Level 1" textbook
(ISBN: 0-673-58922-6) and is intended for use by non-native students in middle
or secondary school introductory Spanish courses. Using the Natural Approach and
Total Physical Response (TPR), the goals are to teach vocabulary and improve
fluency in Spanish. The manual's 13 chapters follow the textbook's 12 thematic
units; story content relates to the theme of the corresponding textbook unit. A
preliminary chapter offers techniques for using TPR methodology as well as
twelve mini-lessons to get students started with TPR and to present and practice
basic vocabulary needed to perform gestures and respond to commands.
Each
subsequent chapter consists of several "minicuentos" to help introduce and
practice new vocabulary through TPR. "Minicuentos," which range in length from
60-100 words, are meant to be personalized by inserting students' names as the
stories are told and acted out. Suggestions follow each "minicuento" for
practicing vocabulary and checking comprehension through the use of novel
commands and asking of yes/ no or either/ or questions related to the
"minicuento."
The "cuento principal" is a story of from 200 to 300
words. Reproducible pages include the text of the story, brief comprehension
activities such as true/false, short-answer and sequencing of events, and
illustrations that can be used to guide students' retelling of the story in
Spanish. Additional activities reinforce vocabulary and structures presented in
the main story and expand upon story content. These activities include oral
sight-reading, for which students study an illustration and then describe it in
Spanish in 60 seconds, original storytelling in groups and class invention of an
original story.

A "Cuaderno para hispanohablantes" (ISBN: 0-8384-7838-7) is currently out of
print.
The text is divided into a preliminary lesson and 14 chapters.
The preliminary lesson presents information regarding sounds and letters,
cognates, accents and punctuation, pronunciation and the alphabet, and basic
vocabulary for making introductions.
Each subsequent chapter consists of
three "etapas" that present new material and review content of previous
"etapas." Each chapter's opening pages list its communicative objectives and
present statistics on a particular Spanish-speaking country or region.
"Comentarios culturales" appear throughout the chapters and provide cultural
information about the country or region in focus along with comprehension
questions (in English in early chapters, Spanish in later ones) to facilitate
cross-cultural comparison.
Preparatory questions in English anticipate
the content of each of a chapter's "etapas." These questions are followed by
presentation of vocabulary that corresponds to the communicative objectives of
the chapter (Cultural readings follow "etapa" introductions in later chapters.).
Labeled illustrations are supplemented by bilingual word and phrase lists.
Supporting exercises allow students to practice new vocabulary in context.
Exercise formats include talking about personal experiences relevant to new
vocabulary, following cues to create sentences and dialogs, and taking a poll.
Grammar explanations are presented in English and are followed by two or
three structured practice activities. As students progress through a chapter,
activities become more open-ended to allow students more creativity. Chapters
conclude with a culminating task whose successful completion depends on
students' ability to apply what they have learned in the chapter. These tasks
are designed to be completed in pairs.
Listening sections integrate the
audio program and are accompanied by pre- and post-listening exercises. Exercise
formats include short answer questions and identifying specific structures or
phrases that have been heard in the recording. Integration of the content of the
three "etapas" of a chapter occurs in a reading selection. Some reading
selections are authentic and include literary excerpts, poetry, brochures and
menus and others are written by the textbook authors. Reading strategies as well
as pre-reading activities support the passages and formats of activities include
guessing the meaning of new words, scanning and matching. Pre- and post-viewing
activities to accompany the video program are also included in the text.
Activities prepare students for the video clip, check comprehension and
facilitate linking video content with students' own experiences. Exercise
formats include structured short answer as well as open-ended questions,
fill-in-the-blanks, listing vocabulary as it is heard in the video and
multiple-choice.

This foundational text has a companion workbook (ISBN: 0-618-08599-8) and
Website <www.mcdougallittell.com>. In the textbook, various countries of
the Spanish-speaking world are highlighted as well as some Latino groups in the
United States. A thematic approach aims to connect the lesson topics with
students' daily lives and interests such as friends, nutrition, cultural
diversity and the environment. Eight units are divided into 6 lessons each. Of
these 6 lessons, three focus on reading and communicative interaction while the
other three focus on grammar. Readings are a mixture of photographic dialogues,
authentic legends from the oral tradition, cultural/historical passages and
authentic poems and literary passages. Some cultural/historical passages assume
cultural and geographical knowledge of the U.S. (English system of measures,
size of countries compared to that of U.S. states). Discussion activities focus
on cultural knowledge, main ideas and critical thinking. Vocabulary is academic,
but vignettes highlight contemporary usage and colloquial variation. The third
reading/ communication lesson of each unit concludes with a section that focuses
on the process approach to writing. Strategies for writing are presented and
students produce writing in various genres.
Grammar lessons are somewhat
related to the content of a unit's reading/ communication lessons, and topics
range from accurate spelling to grammar review. Many grammar exercises are
structured, sentential-level activities that include sentence
completion/manipulation and fill-in-the-blanks. Spelling exercises frequently
ask students to reflect on and respond to a reading or proverb presented earlier
in the chapter while simultaneously eliciting target-spelling sequences in
language that the students produce.

Native/Heritage Spanish Speakers
This workbook supplements the "Tu mundo, Curso para hispanohablantes"
text (ISBN: 0-618-08588-2) for heritage/native speakers. The workbook is set up
in a similar manner to that of the "¡Dime! Uno" series workbook. Using a
skill-based approach, the workbook's goals are to improve students' listening,
writing and reading. Exercises focus on the specific needs of Spanish speakers
with regard to written accents, spelling, reading and writing. There are 8 units
that correspond to and reinforce the content of the units in the text. Three
lessons comprise each unit and lessons are divided into listening, grammar,
writing and reading sections.
The listening section contains activities that accompany an audio
CD program. Radio program excerpts address cultural topics and brief
comprehension activities are presented in true/false or multiple-choice format.
Accentuation and syllabification rules are reviewed and a dictation is included
at the end of each listening section.
The second section of each lesson
is grammar-based and serves to build upon grammar presented in the text.
Activities include identifying parts of speech, sentence completion and
manipulation, and fill-in-the-blanks.
The writing sections focus on a
particular form of writing, starting with taking phone messages and progressing
through preparing a resume, keeping a diary and writing a letter. Strategy
presentation is followed by activities, which provide practice for the genre in
focus.
Reading sections begin with activities in which open-ended
questions serve as advance organizers for the reading selection. Readings are
whole or excerpts from authentic texts written by authors from various
Spanish-speaking countries. Post-reading activities provide for comprehension
checks, analysis and discussion of the reading. At the end of each section
students are presented with an essay topic related to the reading.

Non-Native Spanish Speakers, but can be adapted for Native/Heritage
Speakers This
foundational text is appropriate for secondary school beginners. (ISBN for
student's edition is 0-03-052074-6.) It is written with non-native learners in
mind, but includes ideas for teachers to use in mixed classes of native and
non-native speakers. Some of the suggestions utilize native speakers as a
resource for mixed classes, and draw upon native speakers' experience with
language and culture. Enrichment for native speakers is the goal of many of the
suggested activities; ideas often involve keeping a journal or writing an essay
on a topic of interest related to a lesson. The teacher's edition also includes
a few notes and suggestions to address spelling and grammar problems common to
native and heritage Spanish speakers as they come up in
lessons.
Supplementary materials for teachers include a lesson planner
(ISBN: 0-03-064411-9), a Total Physical Response (TPR) storytelling book, a
testing program, and alternative assessment guide. Additional student resources
are a grammar and vocabulary workbook (ISBN: 0-03-052678-7), and a practice and
activity book (ISBN: 0-03-052602-7). Multimedia resources for the "¡Ven
Conmigo!" series include a video program (available on videotape or videodisc),
a CD-ROM program (ISBN: 0-03-016859-7), a companion Website
<http://go.hrw.com>, audio CDs, transparencies, and a test generator
CD-ROM. The teacher's edition offers extensive suggestions for integrating
multimedia resources into lessons.
There is also a "¡Ven Conmigo! Level
1, ©2000 Native Speaker Activity Book " available (ISBN: 0030530040) for $10.50,
and a "¡Ven Conmigo! Level 1, ©2000 Native Speaker Activity Book, Teacher's
Edition with Answer Key" (ISBN: 0030530075) available for $12.50.
The
text is divided into 12 chapters. (Chapter 1 is a preliminary chapter.) Chapters
are built around communicative goals such as introducing oneself, talking about
leisure time, expressing polite requests and making future plans. Cultural notes
written in English compare customs related to the communicative goals of each
chapter and a featured region of the Spanish-speaking world. Brief interviews
with Spanish-speaking individuals offer perspectives on a chapter's theme and
may be read, listened to or seen on video. Activities check comprehension and
facilitate open-ended communication about the cultural theme. Some regional
vocabulary differences are presented in the lessons and the teacher's edition
includes language notes regarding other dialect differences.
Each
chapter is introduced by means of still photographs of an episode of the series'
video program with accompanying text. The presentation of this abridged version
of the video is designed as an advance organizer to be followed by watching or
listening to the whole episode. Activities check comprehension and facilitate
further oral and written communication in pairs or small groups. Comprehension
exercises include true/false or short answer questions and scanning text for
particular expressions. Communicative activities often address critical thinking
skills.
Vocabulary associated with the communicative goals of a chapter
are accompanied by oral and written exercises to reinforce and relate new
vocabulary to students' experiences. Grammar is presented in brief explanations
followed by activities that include fill-in-the-blanks, sentence formation and
responding to situations in context using the new grammatical structure.
Directions for exercises are written mostly in English, but use of Spanish
increases in later chapters of the text. Brief sections of each chapter formally
address spelling and pronunciation and include dictations, tongue twisters and
integration of the series' audio program.
Reading selections are
authentic texts ranging from advertisements to recipes to short stories. Reading
strategies as well as pre- and post-reading activities check comprehension and
offer activities for completion in pairs or small groups. Many post-reading
activities address critical thinking skills. Starting in Chapter 3, each chapter
contains a process writing activity that presents strategies, prewriting and
revising activities. Students write in a variety of formats including Web page,
menu, newspaper ad and interview. Alternative writing assignments are
occasionally provided for native speakers.
At the end of each chapter is
a page of questions and items that students may use as a checklist to evaluate
their mastery of the major points of the chapter. A reference section appears at
the back of the student text and includes vocabulary lists by topic, a grammar
summary and supplementary exercises and Spanish-English and English-Spanish
glossaries.

Native/Heritage Spanish Speakers
This Spanish native speaker workbook supplements the "¡Ya verás!, level
1" textbook that is designed for non-native students but adaptable for use with
native speakers in high school introductory language courses. (Go to the Website
listed below for information on the textbook.) The workbook is divided into 18
chapters that follow the textbook. Each chapter is subdivided into 4 sections
that address reading, phonetics and spelling, the specific language needs of
native speakers, and open-ended activities for reinforcement of the material. At
the end of every third chapter there are activities for building speaking and
writing proficiency with presentation of topics for oral reports and interviews
with classmates, for example, as well as process writing assignments.
Reading passages are mostly authentic, approximately 350 words in length
and include cultural articles, scripts and a fax from a pen pal. Pre-reading
questions encourage students to make predictions about the passage and
post-reading questions check comprehension with structured short answer as well
as open-ended formats to relate the reading to students' personal experience.
Exercises draw attention to and provide practice of frequently confused
letters such as "r" & "rr," "f" & "j" and "m" & "n." Language issues
such as homophones and accentuation are also addressed with exercises whose
formats include multiple choice, correcting errors in a written passage and
fill-in-the-blanks.
Features of the language that might need to be
reinforced with heritage learners are outlined and accompanied by supporting
activities. Topics include adjective meaning changes with "ser" and "estar," the
"preterite tú" form, the verbs "dares," "cuenta" and "realizar," prepositions
and regional differences. Formats of associated activities include writing
sentences according to cues, fill-in-the-blanks, short-answer and
multiple-choice.
Open-ended activities synthesize chapter content with a
task-based approach and are often interactive. These activities include
structured interviews, writing a list of instructions, giving and asking
directions and predicting the future.
There is also an "Answer Key for

This Spanish native speaker workbook supplements the "¡Ya verás!, level
2" textbook designed for non-native students but adaptable for use with native
speakers in high school introductory language courses. (Go to the Website listed
below for more information on the textbook and materials in this series.) The
workbook is divided into 18 chapters that follow the textbook. Each chapter is
subdivided into 4 sections that address reading, phonetics and spelling, the
specific language needs of native speakers, and open-ended activities for
reinforcement of material. At the end of every third chapter there are
activities for building speaking and writing proficiency with presentation of
topics for oral reports and interviews with classmates, for example, as well as
process writing assignments.
Reading passages are mostly authentic,
approximately 350 words in length and include cultural articles, scripts and a
fax from a pen pal. Pre-reading questions encourage students to make predictions
about the passage and post-reading questions check comprehension with structured
short-answer as well as open-ended formats to relate the reading to students'
personal experience.
Exercises draw attention to and provide practice of
frequently confused letters such as "g" & "j", "b" & "v" and "c," "s"
& "z". Language issues such as cognates and accentuation are also addressed
with exercises whose formats include multiple-choice, correcting errors in a
written passage and fill-in-the-blanks.
Features of the language that
might need to be reinforced with heritage learners are outlined and accompanied
by supporting activities. Topics include Anglicisms, false cognates,
indirect-object pronouns, personal and regional differences. Formats of
associated activities include writing sentences according to cues,
fill-in-the-blanks, short-answer and multiple-choice.
Open-ended
activities synthesize chapter content with a task-based approach and are often
interactive. These activities include structured interviews, writing an email,
planning a vacation and making recommendations for a healthy diet.
There
is also an "Answer Key for SSS Workbook" (ISBN: 0838484824) available for
$16.97.

Native/Heritage Spanish Speakers
This Spanish native speaker workbook supplements the "¡Ya verás!, level
3" textbook that is designed for non-native students but adaptable for use with
native speakers in high school introductory/intermediate language courses. The
workbook is divided into 12 chapters that follow the textbook. Each chapter is
subdivided into 3 sections that present reading passages and open-ended
activities for reinforcement and extension of reading content. At the end of
every third chapter there are activities for building speaking and writing
proficiency with presentation of topics for oral reports and interviews, for
example, as well as process writing assignments.
Reading passages of
approximately 700 words in length are primarily cultural articles. Pre-reading
questions encourage students to make predictions about the passage and activate
prior knowledge and post-reading questions check comprehension with structured
short answer as well as open-ended format to relate the reading to students'
personal experience.
Open-ended questions guide group discussion to
synthesize reading content and discussion is followed by individual reflection
in writing. Topics of these discussions include food, travel, art and mass
media, particularly as they relate to the Hispanic community. Larger-scale
projects, most of which are to be completed cooperatively seek to further extend
the content of a reading in a task-based format. Suggested projects include
planning and mapping out a trip, planning to open a restaurant, teaching the
class words and music to an Hispanic song, and creating a new line of clothing
for the Hispanic market. Questions and cues guide students step by step through
the project and each one is followed by a self-evaluation
questionnaire.
There is also an "Answer Key for SSS Workbook" (ISBN:
0838484824) available for $16.97.
