Ladron de la Mente

The second title in the Storyteller's Series, @lt;I@gt;Ladron de la mente@lt;/I@gt; is a surreal and supernatural story for high-beginning and low-intermediate students, written in simple Spanish for learners of Spanish. Written by respected author Elias Miguel Munoz, this inviting and inexpensive paperback can be used as early as second semester, first-year Spanish. As the story unfolds, students soon learn what happens to a thief who steals something other than property. The essence of the story has not changed since the first edition, yet @lt;I@gt;Ladron de la mente@lt;/I@gt; now features material that is even more readable and thought provoking. Numerous subtle changes were made as well as some major ones.

Student Activities Manual for Percorsi: L'Italia Attraverso La Lingua E La Cultura

The Student Activities Manual provides complete coordination with the structure and approach of the "Percorsi "textand offers an ample variety of written and listening activities correlated to the topics and grammar components presented in each of the textbook chapters. The traditional workbook exercises provide meaningful practice of the vocabulary and grammar structures introduced in each chapter, as well as practice in reading comprehension and writing skills. The audio exercises are integrated within each chapter and provide listening practice based on authentic speech and real-life situations. The video activities, also integrated within each chapter, complement the activities in the "Guardiamo" section of the textbook. These exercises offer students the ability to expand their understanding of the plot of the video segments while making connections between their own lives and the lives of the characters.

Ponto de Encontro, Brazilian Student Activities Manual: Portuguese as a World Language

The organization of the Student Activities Manual (workbook, lab manual, and video manual) follows that of the main text, providing further practice of each chapter's vocabulary and grammatical structures through sentence building and completion exercises, fill-ins, and art- and realia-cued activities. Reading and writing activities include strategies for improving reading and writing skills. The lab section of each chapter is to be used in conjunction with the SAM audio program recordings of varied listening comprehension selections. The recorded passages are followed by comprehension-check activities. The video manual includes activities that test students' comprehension of the video materials and invite them to react to the experiences and opinions expressed by the speakers. A substantial appendix to both SAMs provides additional targeted practice for Spanish-speaking learners of Portuguese.
