Estructura de los sonidos del español provides Spanish learners with the explanations, materials, and exercises they need to develop a native-like pronunciation, and guides them through the discovery of the principles that underlie the Spanish sound system. Following a bottom-up approach, Estructuras builds progressively from simple to more intricate sound structures while emphasizing the connections that exist among different sound levels. Clear explanations and effective exercises are the hallmark features of all chapters. 

Content quality and organization

Smooth flow between chapters, as they build progressively on content complexity within a well-founded and innovative architecture. Combined with the clarity of the explanations, students can explore the book without close supervision by the instructor. This allows instructors to recommend specific sections of the book to those students who need more attention to certain topics.

 

Outstanding illustrations and exercises

Well-designed, detailed illustrations aid instructors in presenting technical phonetic concepts and helps students visualize articulations. Additionally, the use of abundant, varied, and effective exercises provides ample choices for instructors to select activities for in-class practice and assign others as homework. Instructors choose from 2 sets of study guides for student reading: Basic, for students new to the study of linguistics, and Advanced, for students with more background knowledge.

 

Innovative use of technology

MySpanishLab, the state-of-the-art website, which includes abundant visual resources, study guides, additional practice, audio and voice-recording capabilities, extends the opportunities for practice far beyond the classroom. Students are no longer limited to their teacher as the only pronunciation model, but now have countless opportunities to practice, using the speech of native speakers as their model at any time.

Carlos-Eduardo Piñeros is originally from Colombia. He attended the Universidad Pedagógica Nacional in Bogotá, where he graduated as a Licenciado en Lenguas Modernas in 1990. In 1993, he moved to the United States to attend graduate school at the Ohio State University in Columbus. He completed his M.A. in 1994, and graduated with a Ph.D. in Spanish linguistics in 1998. For a year, he worked as an Assistant Professor of Spanish Linguistics for Central Michigan University in Mt. Pleasant. He then began an appointment as an Assistant Professor of Spanish Linguistics for the University of Iowa in Iowa City, and held this position until 2005, when he became a tenured Associate Professor. His work in this position involves both research and teaching in the areas of Spanish phonology, morphology, and dialectology. 

Estructura de los sonidos del español offers students of Spanish a comprehensive introduction to the phonetics and phonology of Spanish. While assuming no prior study of linguistics, Estructura de los sonidos del español guides students to investigate in depth the functioning of sounds within the language system. Simultaneously, the book and the fully integrated online practice environment bring together all the elements necessary to achieve significant progress in the acquisition of Spanish articulatory habits. Estructura de los sonidos del español incorporates recent advances in the study of Spanish phonology and builds progressively in content complexity to provide a balance of theoretical and practical content in an accessible and engaging format.

 

Features

  • Clear explanations and detailed illustrations
  • Abundant individual and group practice

    • 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.

    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!
