Learn by doing
Gente: A Task-based Approach to Learning Spanish helps you achieve a high level of oral proficiency as you learn by doing through a task-based approach. Rather than presenting explanations about the language, the authors immerse you in the actual experience of speaking, listening to, reading, and writing Spanish. Gente's consistent instructional sequence guides you to progress from a focus on input to a focus on output. And because of the task-based instruction, Gente helps you learn to better cope with natural, spontaneous speech and more easily tackle tough reading texts. The 4th Edition offers updates based on extensive instructor and student feedback and new research in the language learning field. The revision includes updated themes to several chapters, more task-based writing instruction, and revised cultural and grammar coverage.
