This is the teacher's manuel for the updated seventh edition of 'Spanish Now ' textbook and workbook. The emphasis of this Spanish language course is on oral proficiency.

Includes sections on structure, verbs, vocabulary, idioms, reading and listening comprehension, writing and Hispanic culture.

This updated edition of the combination textbook and workbook is designed as an introduction to Spanish for classroom use. The emphasis is on oral proficiency--conversational speaking and listening comprehension--but the authors also present detailed instruction in the fundamentals of Spanish grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension, and writing in Spanish. The book is filled with exercises and answers, true-to-life dialogues, illustrations of Hispanic art, and photos that capture the flavor of Spanish culture in Spain and Latin America. In this new edition, the vocabulary sections and readings have been updated to include the latest technology, while the cultural sections now include information about the Hispanic individuals currently making a splash on the world scene.

The new, updated edition of this combination textbook and workbook is designed primarily for classroom use on an intermediate level, and can also serve as a college-level review manual or for independent study. It makes an excellent follow-up to Spanish Now! Level 1, but can be used by all students of Spanish who have already learned language fundamentals. Emphasis is on oral proficiency--conversational Spanish and listening comprehension--but it also gives thorough presentation of Spanish grammar, sentence structure, verb usage, advanced vocabulary, and reading and writing ability in Spanish. Work units toward the end of the book are on an advanced level and serve as challenges to students who are very fluent in Spanish. A teacher's manual is presented at the back of the book.

A Teacher's Manual is available separately from Barron's. It contains auditory comprehension and dictation materials to be used with the corresponding exercises in Part Four--listening comprehension--of the worktext. Included in the Teacher's Manual are Suggestions to the Teacher, How to Help Your Students Achieve Oral Proficiency, and an Answer Key which is also helpful to students in self-instruction programs.
