Students read brief summaries of grammar with lively examples and then are thrust into conversation via socialization, dramatization, physical involvement, and other motivating activities. These kinds of exercises help students make an energetic, emotional connection to the Spanish language.
Activities are fun and always have a clear communicative purpose.
Most books today try to create open-ended conversations with an inadequate structural foundation. However, grammar is presented only as a means to an end, as a springboard for creative variation. All structures are instantly illustrated and practiced in many conversational situations. Although students will have opportunities to work on their reading and writing skills, the principal focus of the materials is on speaking and listening development. The chapter organization is carefully sequenced into manageable conversational levels or goals.
