A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

De nuevo: Spanish for High Beginners was conceived and written for high beginners. Rather than condense a complete first-year program into one semester, De nuevo's unique structure and approach focus first on what is primarily review material before turning to the vocabulary and fourteen grammatical structures that are actively taught throughout the eight chapters of the text. Mastery of the vocabulary and grammar will enable students to participate fully in the intermediate course that follows.

Features

• A function-driven communicative approach in a work-text format
• High-interest chapter themes
• Brainstorming activities to start every chapter
• Serialized cartoon whose characters present the various grammatical concepts through their interactions with one another
• A recurring set of characters that are used to create a unique contextualized world for examples, activities, and assignments
• Student-driven review of basic grammatical structures
• Contextualized presentation of vocabulary
• Readings that reinforce the theme of each chapter
• Activities that allow students to work in small groups
• Spiraled activities that review structures and functions that have already been acquired
• Activities dedicated to the development of listening skills
• Writing assignments that become more complex as student progresses
• Communicative lab activities to improve oral proficiency

Présentation de l'éditeur :

For High or False Beginning Spanish courses.

De nuevo is built from the ground up, with unique ways of addressing students who have had some Spanish before. The text's structure and approach provide students with a review of the communicative functions with which they are familiar―but not proficient. An initial focus on review material broadens to include engaging exercises that build vocabulary, an exploration of thematic readings, the presentation of more challenging grammatical structures, a multitude of communicative activities, and emphasis on the development of writing skills. Most activities involve brainstorming in order to acclimate students to working in groups and to provide opportunities for oral communication.
