Resource Description

This textbook is designed for an Intermediate Spanish course and is part of an initiative to create online material for students which is free and accessible to everyone. The textbook is comprised of a series of  task-based communicative activities that focus on the form so that students can acquire acts of speech, vocabulary, and grammar in context and create conversations related to the topics discussed. The author has developed modified Integrated Performance Assessments or IPA (Adair-Hauck, B. et al. 2006 and Glisan et al. 2007) and Presentation, Attention, Co-Construction, Extension Models or PACE (Adair-Hauck & Donato, 2002) from various stories, songs, cartoons, movies, articles, and other authentic materials that enhance understanding and use of language expressions in context. Students are asked to listen and analyze the Reading text and to produce a presentational task based on it.
