Quia eBook Access Card for Punto y Aparte: Expanded Edition
| AUTHOR | Foerster, Sharon; Lambright, Anne |
| PUBLISHER | McGraw-Hill Education (08/25/2010) |
| PRODUCT TYPE | eBook (Other) |
Description
"Punto y aparte: Expanded Edition" moves your students beyond learning "about" the Spanish language to actually "using" their Spanish in natural, meaningful contexts. With "Punto y aparte: Expanded Edition" students develop more confidence for communication and begin to think critically about language and culture. This is achieved by focusing on seven communicative functions and the grammar structures that support them. These communicative functions appear at the beginning of the text and are recycled throughout, providing opportunities for review in different contexts. Since this is not the typical linear march through grammar one structure at a time, students are able to begin using language in a way that is creative and allows for natural language production. As the title suggests, "Punto y aparte: Expanded Edition" puts students on a successful path from simple phrases to more extensive, paragraph-length discourse.
Built on the successful foundation of "Punto y aparte, " the best-selling brief intermediate-level text, the "Expanded Edition" offers more grammar practice, expanded vocabulary, and a greater variety of cultural contexts, providing ample material for one-year intermediate courses, while maintaining the flexibility to be used in shorter courses as well. Because students come to Intermediate Spanish with disparate levels of language learning experience and proficiency, more challenging grammar receives less focus in the first half of the program, allowing instructors to tailor the program to their course depending on student level.
