Mas alla de las palabras: Intermediate Spanish

This content-rich, culture-based intermediate Spanish text provides a smooth transition between first-year and second-year Spanish texts. The text's highly effective integration of language skills instruction and content, coupled with the application of technology, fully meets the five standards defined by the National Standards in Foreign Language Education Project. The main goal of these texts is to provide intermediate level students of Spanish with a foreign language experience that takes them from the practical language knowledge needed to carry out daily tasks to a more meaningful understanding of Hispanic cultures.
Intermediate Spanish is designed for those with a lower Intermediate level background who need greater integration of previously acquired skills as they gradually advance through the Intermediate level.
This two-volume set helps readers to refine and expand their Spanish vocabulary, develop the practical language knowledge necessary to carry out daily tasks, and acquire a deep and meaningful understanding of Hispanic cultures.
