Summary

Designed specifically for the high/accelerated beginner, this new text recognizes and meets the needs of students as both affective and cognitive learners.Paso adelante's course of study allows students to utilize and build upon the knowledge and skills they bring with them from previous studies, while offering clear presentation of more difficult aspects of the language. The text's strong integration of authentic content motivates students and encourages deeper understanding of and appreciation for cultures and cultural practices. Embracing a task-based, communicative approach that integrates the National Standards for Foreign Language Learning, each chapter ofPaso adelantefocuses on the development of listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills and provides specific language learning strategies. The grammar points presented are those that are anticipated to be the most useful in authentic, everyday communication. Enhancing the program are a variety of technology components (in-text video and audio, listening/pronunciation lab, Online Teaching and Learning Centers) as well as author-created ancillary support for both students and instructors. Brief treatment of early structures and vocabulary allows students to move quickly through familiar material while providing challenging and motivating content early on. Motivational approach, incorporating task-based activities that draw from language learning strategies as well as students' lives, builds confidence in their preexisting language skills. Authentic interviews and readings unite content and language through such features as integrated video with native speakers, illustration of grammatical concepts through Spanish sayings and jokes, and authentic literary readings and songs that are both accessible and enjoyable. Interdisciplinary and in-depth approach to culture encourages students to look beyond the facts of culture by delving into thought-provoking cultural issues and highlights the growing presence of the Spanish language on both local and global levels. Integration of National Standards for Foreign Language Learning prepares students to communicate meaningfully in interpersonal, interpretive, and presentational modes with thematically and culturally motivating content that relates to students' own lives, invites cultural comparison, and allows students to incorporate their knowledge of other disciplines as a tool in language learning.
