Miradas focuses on the acquisition of cultural competence and communication skills through innovative themes, culture, grammmar reviews, and writing workshops. This text solves a variety of needs in the third-year Spanish course: developing reading skills, strategies for literary analysis, expanding vocabulary, consolidating grammar and writing proficiency, and offering connections with other cultural manifestations such as music and film, all within a communicative context. Miradas truly brings students from the high intermediate level to the advanced level of proficiency in the four skills, as defined by the ACTFL Guidelines.

Un libro de texto fabuloso,
By
This review is from: Miradas: Contextos para conversar y escribir (Paperback)
Yo usé este texto en una clase de español, y es el mejor texto para el estudiante que he encontrado. Contiene ensayos, murales, pinturas, cuentos, y artículos para que el lector aprenda unos temas importantes del mundo hispanohablante y sepa más de su cultura. También explica algunas reglas gramaticales, básicas y avanzadas, en caso de que algunos estudiantes no las entiendan. Les recomiendo este libro a todos los estudiantes del español.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Miradas: Contextos para conversar y escribir (Paperback)
The book came right on time, but did have a lot of writing inside. Luckily only pencil but it hadn't been mentioned that it had any writing inside when I was purchasing. Would have been nice to have the heads up!
