A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

For courses in Spanish Conversation and Intermediate Spanish.

This text encourages the exploration of “free expression” in Spanish on universal topics of importance and interest. It stimulates class discussion by motivating students to talk about controversial and interesting topics―such as abortion, capital punishment, and euthanasia. The exchange of ideas brought about by the use of this text allows students to develop their oral conversation and confidence in an atmosphere of friendly controversy, rather than simply learning in an environment focused upon having the “right answer” and reviewing grammatical concepts.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Each chapter contains a brief introductory essay, followed by two opposing sides of a controversial topic. Chapters five, ten, fifteen and twenty are Interludios and present a lighter topic of discussion. Grammar is reviewed informally throughout the text, with each chapter incorporating a review of usage of a particular grammatical point.

Topical vocabulary is woven into exercises whenever possible. New vocabulary is presented and definitions provided exclusively in Spanish, to avoid translation and foster the use of the second language.
