About this title

From the Publisher

Free `Video on CD', provided with purchase of new Student Edition. The 'Minidramas', 'En contexto', and "Enfoque cultural" segments of the Video Program are provided to students free of charge on CD-ROM.
Videoteca: En contexto. New to this edition of 'Qué tal? are the text-integrated, functionally-oriented `En contexto' video segments. Fully integrated into Paso 4 of each chapter, these video segments (shot on location in Peru, Mexico and Costa Rica) target high-frequency functional language.
'Cultura en contexto' feature focuses on a cultural topic from the 'En contexto' video segment.
'Notas culturales' have been updated throughout the text.
'Paso final' sections target the development of all four skills: ¡A conversar! activities develop listening and speaking skills; ¡A leer! and ¡A escribir! develop reading and writing skills.
"En resumen: Gramática" end-of-chapter grammar reference helps students prepare for assessment.
Online Learning Center includes the complete laboratory audio program.
Manageable in length and communicative in approach, this introductory Spanish program is ideal for schools that have a limited number of contact hours but still prefer a text that includes a broad variety of materials.
Clear, consistent four-part chapter organization helps students manage the material without being overwhelmed and makes lesson-planning easier for instructors.
Hallmarks of 'Qué tal? are its early explained grammar points followed by exercises and activities that progress from form-focused to communicative in nature, and the consistent recycling of material learned in earlier chapters.
