Based on the goals and philosophy of the full version ASÍ ES, ¡ASÍ! upholds the same communicative and functional objectives and provides the same instructor support in a briefer textbook. This complete introductory Spanish program offers a variety of fully integrated components. ¡ASÍ! places particular emphasis on skill-building with an end-of-chapter "Avancemos" section that synthesizes the lesson material through listening ("Escuchemos"), reading ("Leamos"), and writing ("Escribamos"). The processes of reading and writing receive specific attention: pre-reading activities prepare students to read actively and effectively, and post-reading activities check comprehension. In the "Escribamos" section, students use a similar systematic approach to writing, aided by exercises correlated to the Atajo 4.0 CD-ROM Writing Assistant for Spanish software. A colorful, high-interest "Mini-gaceta" appears at the end of each chapter and contains cultural, historical, and geographical information relevant to the chapter's country of focus. The fusion of skill-building and culture with a concise grammar treatment establishes the abilities necessary to communicate proficiently in Spanish.Karen Daggett is the author of 'Asi! (with Audio CD)', published 2005 under ISBN 9781413014242 and ISBN 1413014240.
