Understanding that students enter the Intermediate Spanish course at different levels, Atando cabos brings students to a common proficiency level and “ties up the loose ends” from their first year of Spanish.  Focusing on the significance of culture and interpersonal communication in learning a foreign language, this text is comprised of high-interest, relevant themes that motivate critical thinking and classroom discussions.  Concentrating on the development of basic skills–listening, speaking, reading and writing, with an equal emphasis on fluency and accuracy–this text teaches students to express, interpret, and negotiate meaning in context while learning to analyze, compare, contrast, and understand Hispanic cultures.

 

  • An emphasis on communication throughout text
    • Students focus on how they express themselves while using communicative activities to build both accuracy and linguistic competence.
  • In-context approach to learning with chapters on high-interest topics such as travel and leisure, the environment, globalization, the entertainment world, celebration and love.
    • Captures students' interest by using topics that are relevant in their own lives.
  • Student-centered text encourages and inspires students to actively participate in their own learning process.
    • Provides students with a plethora of activities that draw them into the material and inspires further study.
  • Two-tiered grammar approach that distinguishes the review of first-year grammar by placing it in the Cabos sueltos section from the coverage of the second-year grammar which is integrated in each chapter in the Aprendamos section.
    • Provides both students and instructors with an accessible and flexible approach to covering grammar.
  • Five-part chapter organization.
    • Streamlines material for students so they are furnished with a clearer, straightforward presentation that makes the subject matter easier to understand and makes lesson planning easier for instructors. 
  • A host of study resources and exercises including online self-tests for each Referencia gramatical grammar point, machine-graded activities for intermediate-level grammar points, extensive teacher's annotations in the AIE and an instructor’s manual with syllabi, lesson plans and a newly revised testing program.
    • Presents students with various study tools that motivate interest and further study, while providing instructors with accessible resources that can be used in class.
  • An exceptional program offering both online and print resources.
    • Resources were developed specifically for the Atando cabos program, ensuring that they reflect the methodology of the text and provide maximum flexibility for instructor and student.
  • Poems and readings by renowned authors such as Gabriela Mistral, Federico García Lorca, Antonio Machado, Sandra Cisneros, Marco Denevi and Nicolás Guillén.
    • Introduces students to several celebrated authors of the Spanish-speaking world, stimulating further exploration of the Spanish language and literature.
  • Consistent recycling of vocabulary and grammar structures throughout the text.
    • Uses constant reinforcement to help students learn and retain all phases of vocabulary and grammar.

  • NEW–75-minute video program
    • Interviews and mini-documentaries spark student interest in the Spanish speaking world while giving them practice in listening comprehension.
  • NEW–Chapter 9 theme changed to Hablemos de juventud (Let’s discuss youth)
    • Comparisons between the lives of Hispanic youths and those in the U.S. are easily made with this new theme allowing students to freely express their observations and opinions about their own lives and experiences while learning about their peers around the world. 
  • NEW–Comprehension questions after each En Conexto chapter opening reading
    • Students have the ability to quickly check their understanding of new vocabulary and key terms allowing them to quickly assimilate and use Interemediate-level words and phrases. 
  • NEW–Updated design makes text even more student-friendly
    • Especially notable in the grammar sections, the new design facilitates study and review of key concepts freeing up class time for communicative practice. 
  • NEW–Completely revised testing program
    • Assessments development to closely correlate with the goals and objectives of the text and Student Activities Manual. 
  • NEW–Ventana al mundo boxes cultural boxes thoroughly revised
    • New comprehension questions allow students to make connections between their own environment and the presented cultural topic.

María González-Aguilar was born in Barcelona, grew up and graduated from the Profesorado in Argentina, and completed her postgraduate education at Middlebury College. She taught for ten years in different colleges and universities, including, MIT, the University of Oregon, Tufts University and Middlebury College. María started publishing with PH in 1983 with the first edition of Arriba and Mosaicos. Afterward, while working at MIT she created “Paradoja”, an interactive CD-ROM that deals with the situation of women in Latin America.

 

María is a professor of the Instituto Cervantes in Paris, where she is responsible for general language courses and for the coordination and teaching of pedagogical workshops for Spanish professors. María also teaches at two of the most prestigious French “Grands écoles”: “Ecole Polytechnique” and “Haute école de Commerce”. She is responsible for the development and teaching of special courses, such as “Sabor Latino” Latin-American foods through music, literature, movies and art or “Actualidad hispana”, a practical course that brings students in contact with Latin-American reality through the analysis of media. María’s passions are traveling, reading, teaching and cooking. She lives in the suburbs of Paris with her husband and son, in a house full of “sabor latino”.

 

 

Marta Rosso-O’Laughlin, M.A., a native speaker from Argentina, holds a degree in applied linguistics form the University of Reading in England.  She studied second-language methodology at the University of London and holds degrees from the National University of Córdoba in Argentina. 

 

For the last nineteen years, Marta has been the chief coordinator of the Spanish-language program at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts, where she also teaches all levels of Spanish-language courses including linguistics.  She is the author of many books for the teaching of Spanish for high school and college and co-author of the second edition of Atando cabos.

 

Professor Rosso-O’Laughlin conducts teacher-training workshops and courses at several of the universities in the Boston area, at national conferences, and at teaching institutions abroad. She brings a wealth of experience and a rich cultural background to her teaching.

Recognizing that students enter second-year Spanish at disparate levels, the authors of Atando cabos focus on “tying up loose ends” and bringing students to a common proficiency level. Though Atando cabos has been carefully revised based on feedback from adopters of the previous editions, the third edition continues to emphasize interaction and communication in a culturally rich environment to increase.

    Brief Description

    • ¡Anda! Curso elemental, 1/e is the first Elementary Spanish book conceptualized from the outset to meet the needs of today's language teachers and learners.  In the last few years, classroom contact hours have been reduced drastically, class sizes have increased and students' lives have become busier than ever.  Instructors don't have time to cover everything that they feel is needed and more is being asked of them with fewer resources.  At the same time, language teachers want to spend as much time exposing students to Hispanic culture and practicing communication as they do with grammar.  But, there simply isn't enough time or resources.  The result:  Many instructors end up galloping through their elementary Spanish text, omitting interesting cultural lessons, to try to give students the broadest grammatical exposure possible.  Now they have a new option:  ¡Anda! 

     

    ¡Anda!  has been designed around three key areas to promote student success: 

    • Realistic goals with a realistic approach--the first step in achieving success!
    • Focus on student motivation--students will stride with enthusiasm if they are engaged with the content and are not afraid!
    • Tools to promote success--student and instructor support for learning and teaching creates successful instructors and confident students!

    The entire ¡Anda! program was designed to increase the opportunity for student and instructor success by giving them more of what they need...and less of what they don't!   ¡Anda!  is ready to go!
