Ponte al Dia Student Book with CD Summary

Ponte al Dia Student Book with CD by Mike Thacker

This Student's Book provides a smooth transition from GCSE to AS level and through to A2, following the new four-unit exam specifications from 2008. The book is structured in 13 units, 7 for AS (the first of these being a transition unit from GCSE to AS) and 6 for A2. Each unit follows broadly the same three stages: - introductory, - consolidatory/developmental and - creative. All four language skills are carefully developed throughout the course through the exploitation of authentic written and recorded material, and with appropriate oral presentation and written tasks, to prepare students for their examinations. Grammar is presented and exemplified in context, with explanations in English, and an effective and comprehensive summary is provided at the end of the book. It is supported by two Dynamic Learning resources: - For Teachers the Network Edition DVD-ROM (978 0340 968628) provides all elements of the Student Book for use on the whiteboard or school network plus all required audio files and Teacher's Resource Book. It also adds video clips and interactive versions of 200 of the language activities. The aim is to allow teachers to teach in a truly integrated way launching all the resources they need from a single platform. It also includes a powerful and intuitive 'lesson builder' for you to create your own lessons from the resources we have provided combined with your own favourite websites or other learning activities. - For the Student each copy of the book comes with a CD or a password to access a powerful set of activities and advice for independent learning. This Dynamic Learning Home Edition CD-ROM includes expert advice, and interactive activities, and exam practice for Listening, Grammar, Vocabulary, Speaking, Exam and Study Skills as well as a range of weblinks to explore to help students improve their Spanish.

Ponte al Dia Student Book with CD Reviews

The most useful and innovative content I found in this book is a section called '!Fijate!': a way to highlight a variety of bite-size points. These can be on grammar, culture or the use of Spanish - a simple, yet effective way of visiting and learning certain aspects of Spanish, normally overlooked whilst teaching or learning. Review in Vida Hispanica by Martin Cores Ortega, Shrewsbury Sixth Form College
