Vistazos

This beginning Spanish text is a brief version of the successful Sabias que...', perfectly designed for those programs that are interested in an innovative, task-based approach but whose curriculum necessitates a briefer text. Reduced in length from Sabias que...' by approximately 120 pages, Vistazos retains the innovative pedagogical approach of its longer counterpart through a focus on engaging tasks that have a practical utility. For example, students may be asked to interview each other to create an information sheet for the teacher, or to provide a report to the class. The benefit to this approach is that students stay engaged in the activities and derive a greater sense of accomplishment and purpose from them.VanPatten, Bill is the author of 'Vistazos' with ISBN 9780072500424 and ISBN 0072500425.
