Synopsis

This book takes a four-skills approach to the further development of language proficiency beyond the basics. Opiniones provides readers with an audio library—unscripted, native speakers talking about familiar topics—that expose the reader to different aspects of culture, dialectal differences and speech patterns. For those already familiar with the basics of Spanish.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

Opiniones continues the solid four-skills approach to language learning that students have been accustomed to during their years of basic language instruction through their High Intermediate/Advanced courses. To the already proven techniques for speaking, reading, and writing, Opiniones adds a new technique called Narrow Listening to help students develop their listening skills. Narrow Listening is an intermediate step between the scripted audio of basic language texts and the unguided listening of authentic texts. Opiniones draws on and incorporates Second Language Acquisition Research, which has demonstrated how crucial explicit practice of listening skills is for successful language learning. A highly flexible text, Opiniones exposes students to authentic language, linguistic diversity of Spanish, uniquely high-interest topics, and genuine experiences.
