Logical structure offers the perfect balance between guided classwork and independent study:

  • Before: Introductory tasks provide students with the basic knowledge to begin their study – includes comprehension, listening and research activities.
  • During: Standalone chapters cover each aspect of the region with: ❶ vocabulary exercises; ❷ research tasks followed by comprehension questions to reinforce understanding; ❸ text-based activities with a specific focus on language; ❹ para hablar activities including games and debates; ❺ para escribir questions.
  • After: Exam-style oral and essay questions help students to apply what they have learnt. A model essay and commentary prompt discussion of successful answers.
  • Topics covered include: geografía, historia, población, política, economía, turismo, cultura y estilo de vida
