Synopsis

The Shakespeare for Young People series enables students to enjoy the great plays of Shakespeare in the original language. The scripts, which have been cut to be performed in forty minutes, include descriptions and stage actions as well as production notes to help novice directors and actors. While the texts include only Shakespeare's original words, announcers introduce the scenes and explain difficult passages. Students enjoy the stories and poetry in the plays by reading them aloud or by acting them out.

About this title

From the Publisher

Webster’s paperbacks take advantage of the fact that classics are frequently assigned readings in English courses. By using a running English-to-Spanish thesaurus at the bottom of each page, this edition of Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare was edited for three audiences. The first includes Spanish-speaking students enrolled in an English Language Program (ELP), an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) program, an English as a Second Language Program (ESL), or in a TOEFL® or TOEIC® preparation program. The second audience includes English-speaking students enrolled in bilingual education programs or Spanish speakers enrolled in English speaking schools. The third audience consists of students who are actively building their vocabularies in Spanish in order to take foreign service, translation certification, Advanced Placement® (AP®) or similar examinations. By using the Webster's Spanish Thesaurus Edition when assigned for an English course, the reader can enrich their vocabulary in anticipation of an examination in Spanish or English.
