Rumbos

Intermediate students come from a variety of backgrounds with a wide range of skills and abilities, and an equally wide range of goals. The RUMBOS program provides robust support to help students 'fill in the gaps' that might be left from their first year of Spanish study, including review activities, indices of first year grammar and vocabulary, and student annotations. At the same time, RUMBOS carefully leads students to higher levels of communicative competence through the combination of functional and contextualized vocabulary presentations, targeted practice of more advanced and often problematic grammatical structures, and strategy-building in the speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. Finally, RUMBOS begins to prepare students for advanced language study in the major by introducing them to authentic literary readings, listening-based note-taking tasks, academic writing tasks, and oral presentations (all guided and supported by strategies). The RUMBOS program also provides plentiful instructor support through its transparent and flexible chapter structure, teacher annotations, and ancillary materials. Instructors using RUMBOS will find crafting creative, stimulating, and fun lesson plans effortless.Navey-Davis, Susan is the author of 'Rumbos ', published 0015 under ISBN 9781413010190 and ISBN 1413010199.
