Publisher's Synopsis
Via a range of practical activities and exercises, this course provides students with an insight into Spanish culture, and offers maximum flexibility through a selection of learning material. The activities offer advanced-level students material for approximately 40 hours' learning. Central to this course are the unscripted recordings of interviews with Spanish people from a variety of backgrounds and geographical areas. These recordings present a series of activities designed to develop listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. The course aims to build students' confidence by means of carefully constructed exercises, which have been developed over months of piloting with Spanish students. Cultural awareness is enhanced through activities which focus on practical everyday situations, as well as authentically created pictures of present-day Spain as seen through the eyes of Spaniards themselves.
