| Publisher Description: Integrating grammar and composition, this comprehensive textbook guides the intermediate to advanced student through progressively more complex types of writing by organizing the grammar lessons on a functionalist basis around the needs of composition. Based on the assumption that guided practice with writing promotes fuller acquisition of the language, it incorporates current research in composition, second-language acquisition, and linguistics. This approach promotes systematic language development as part of the preparation for each task. FEATURES: " Focuses on work in six level-appropriate types of composition: description, synopsis, personal narrative, creative narrative, exposition, and argumentation " Structured around writing cycles, from prewriting to composition to revision. Integrates grammar into the preparation for each type of writing " Contains exercises ranging from self-checking form-based practice through work with sentences and paragraphs to guided essays and free composition Covers syntax, dictionary skills, problematic word distinctions, and rhetorical features of discourse structure " Based on ACTFL proficiency guidelines for students progressing from intermediate to advanced levels of proficiency " Accompanied by an instructor's manual that reviews teaching methodology for writing-intensive courses, offers suggestions for syllabus organization and for each lesson, and provides additional exercises. NEW IN THIS EDITION: " The content has been substantially rewritten for greater effectiveness with problem areas " Each lesson has been divided into two distinct parts, Presentaci n of material that students prepare before class, and Aplicaci n, the activities they do in class. " Images from William Bull's Visual Grammar of Spanish help with distinctions that seem difficult " The Pr cticas individuales have been expanded and shifted into an accompanying CD-ROM, where they are self-checking with immediate feedback " The Instructor's Manual is now available for free online in downloadable PDFs. It includes more teaching and exercise suggestions. |
