Product Description
Mosaicos’ common-sense, communicative approach addresses the realities of the Elementary Spanish classroom–where students come to class with questions about grammar or feel anxious about communicating in a second language–by presenting grammar as well as vocabulary in a communicative context within the main body of each chapter and by offering carefully sequenced sets of activities that build student confidence and provide abundant opportunities for communicative practice. Strategies as well as practice opportunities are provided for listening, speaking, reading and writing, and cultural understanding is developed along with those communication skills.

I actually ordered the wrong edition of the manual, but that's not why I didn't give it a great rating. I'm using the Mosaicos textbooks for a basic Spanish class, and I don't like the way they're set up. They teach phrases before grammar and put all the vocabulary at the end of the chapters instead of the beginning. Coming out of years of Latin where we learned the fundamentals first, I've had a hard time adjusting. Frankly I don't think I'm learning as well on this new set up.

Worst book I have ever used to learn a language. Who ever wrote the book was into a lot more than teaching. You need to use this disc or that disc or use the internet. The Prenhall is not very user friendly either. The book is very confusing.

This is everything I could have hoped for in a foreign language textbook; it is an instructor's dream. Now...if they only designed a text of equal quality for Portuguese!
