Epocas Y Avances Workbook Lengua En Su Contexto Cultural Scott Gravina, Isabel Jaen Portillo, Claudia Mendez, Regina Schroeder

"Epocas y avances" offers a communicative-humanistic approach to second language acquisition. It emphasizes particular aspects of the history, literature, art, society, geography, language, and culture of Spain and Latin America through a series of readings and related activities specifically designed to enhance linguistic proficiency.
The "cuaderno de trabajo "is designed to:

• Reinforce and enhance the vocabulary and grammatical structures learned in the principal text
• Provide an additional review of fundamental concepts
• Offer oral comprehension practice with an original audio program for each unit
• Stimulate interest in the topics presented by encouraging additional research and investigation

Scott Gravina graduated from Middlebury College, taught at Yale University and now lives in Massachusetts where he writes full time. Isabel Jaen-Portillo teaches at Yale University and holds a Ph.D. from Purdue University. Claudia Mendez teaches at the University of Pennsylvania. Regina Schroeder teaches at Yale University.

"I liked the concept of these materials. I think both culture and literature are very well blended in with the linguistic components. I find the contents very interesting and appealing to anyone, but more specifically to those who are taking cultural and literature courses as well. It's a fantastic book to familiarize students not only with the target language, but also with its historical context."--Professor Manuel Galofaro, Department of Romance Languages and Literatures, Hofstra University
