Synopsis

This brief four-skills text presents only the grammar structures essential for beginning Spanish students and follows a simple chapter sequence. Each lesson is divided into three sections: "Graficos", which presents the chapter's vocabulary and informally introduces grammar, "Gramatica Esencial", which offers concise grammar explanations plus exercises, and "Comunicacion", which includes realia and/or short reading texts, as well as partner/pair activities. Following every third lesson, "Ampliaciones" sections include reading strategies, cultural readings, and self-tests. Instructors manuals, tapes and software are available.
