Synopsis

For courses in Spanish Conversation.

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; this exchange of ideas allows students to develop their oral conversation and confidence in an atmosphere of friendly controversy, rather than by having the “right answer” or reviewing grammatical concepts.

Quatrième de couverture

Encouraging the exploration of "free expression" in Spanish on universal topics of importance and interest, Conversacion y controversia stimulates creative, critical thinking for students in conversation courses at the intermediate level and higher. The topics covered are lively, controversial, and interesting and were specifically selected because they deal with ideas that almost everyone has an opinion on. As in previous editions, Conversacion y controversia, Fifth Edition fosters progress in oral communication, and challenges students to present arguments, to persuade, and to analyze and interpret the opinions of others.

Features

• Includes particularly timely and up-to-date topics such as terrorism, Spanglish, immigration, and the UN.
• Written completely in Spanish without translations, encouraging students to "think" in Spanish and break away from mentally translating to or from English.
• Pro/Con debates give students a springboard to engage in challenging and exciting verbal exchanges, improving their use of the language.
• Exchanges of ideas allow students to develop their oral conversation and confidence in an atmosphere of friendly controversy, rather than by having the "right answer" or reviewing grammatical concepts.
