Inhaltsangabe

What is Pasos 2?

Consolidate and develop your language skills
In Pasos 2, the second stage of the course, the language skills learnt in Pasos 1 are consolidated and developed, giving learners the ability to communicate confidently at a higher level. They will also gain an insight into the history, customs and everyday life of modern Spain and Latin America.

What will I learn?

Active and realistic use of the language
Pasos 2 encourages active and realistic use of the language over a wide range of topics and situations throughout its fourteen topic-based lessons. There is a wealth of up-to-date authentic reading and listening materials as well as speaking and writing tasks based on everyday situations in a Spanish and Latin American context.
The tasks draw on learners' opinions, experience and knowledge of the world and are set against a background of more controlled presentation and practice of essential grammatical items.

How will I learn?

Integrated task-based approach
Each lesson is subdivided into stand-alone sections which provide an integrated task-based approach. As with Pasos 1, there are regular opportunities for revision, and vocabulary and grammar summaries are provided both at the end of each lesson and in a separate section. Prepárate features prepare learners for new language and topics and lessons end with an Autoevaluación self-assessment feature. The book includes a two-way glossary.
Group or independent study
Pasos 2 constitutes a useful resource for the learner studying alone as well as the student in the classroom.

What is new in the third edition?
