Races, Volumen tres

Races: Una aproximacin comunicativa intercultural a la lengua espaola, Volumen tres is a communicative-based, learner-centric book designed to give Spanish 201 students opportunities to develop and practice Spanish in everyday situations. Each chapter of the book features distinct sections--a) A empezar!, b) A conversar!, c) A escuchar!, d) A escribir!, and e) A leer!--to help develop the students' five language skills: writing, reading, speaking, listening, and cultural awareness. At the end of each lesson, is included Perspectiva cultural and A pronunciar! or Ortografa. The text offers a variety of interactive and communicative exercises such as tongue-twisters, crosswords, riddles, real world tasks, role play, reading excerpts, short film discussion questions, and other listening exercises. Students learn how to talk about jobs; use simple future; use informal commands; talk about places in the city, activities, and means of transportation; use present subjunctive with verbs of influence and emotion; express denial, doubt, and disbelief; and much more. With emphases on practical application, conversational Spanish, and cultural understanding, this text is the third volume in a three-book series developed to help foster students' language acquisition and speaking abilities.
