Pasos 2: Complete Course Pack: Spanish Intermediate Course Pack by Rosa Maria Martin and Martyn Ellis

Third edition of the book and CD pack, 272 pages fully illustrated.

Summary

In Pasos 2, the second part of the two-stage Pasos course, the language skills learnt in Pasos 1 are consolidated and extended enabling learners to develop an ability to communicate confidently at a higher level. They will also gain an insight into the history, customs and everyday life of modern Spain and Latin America.

The course encourages active and realistic use of the language over a wide range of topics and situations throughout its fourteen topic-based lessons. There is a wealth of up-to-date authentic reading and listening materials as well as speaking and writing tasks based on everyday situations in a Spanish and Latin American context. The tasks draw on learners' opinions, experience and knowledge of the world and are set against a background of more controlled presentation and practice of essential grammatical items.

Each lesson is subdivided into stand-alone sections which provide an integrated task-based approach. As with Pasos 1, there are regular opportunities for revision, and vocabulary and grammar summaries are provided both at the end of each lesson and in a separate section. Prepárate features prepare learners for new language and topics and lessons end with an Autoevaluación self-assessment feature. The book includes a two-way glossary.

Page-by-page references to CD tracking improve navigability and with the audio component now included within the book, Pasos 2 is a useful resource for the learner studying alone as well as the student in the classroom.

• Now includes the audio component of 3 CDs within the book cover, providing the complete basic package for the more serious learner at intermediate level.
• Page-by-page integration between audio and print for improved navigability.
• New free online activities and resources for use in class or for self-study.
• New cover image as part of the new launch for this course.
• Inclusion of authentic texts reflects changes in the modern world.
• Grammar sections at the end of each lesson include related exercises to practise a specific area.
• Autoevaluación sections enable students to assess their own progress as they go along.
