Hoy Día: Spanish for Real Life, Volume 1, Textbook and Student Workbook

Hoy día : Spanish for Real Life focuses on the Spanish you need for everyday communication and teaches you to function in a variety of settings. Hoy día helps you focus on what you need to know now to use Spanish effectively in real life. This Books á la Carte Edition is an unbound, three-hole punched version of the Hoy día Volume 1 text and provides students the opportunity to personalize their book by incorporating their own notes and taking only the portion of the book they need to class - all at an affordable price. PLUS, The organization of the Student Activities Manual (SAM) parallels that of the Hoy día Volume 1 student text. Activities corresponding to each Tema in the textbook recycle and reinforce the vocabulary and grammar presented in the textbook. The Diario at the end of the activities for Temas 2 and 4 guides learners in writing paragraphs on the topics of the chapter. As in the textbook, the communicative nature of activities has been maintained so that students are required to think about the meaning of what they are writing, and grammatical forms are not practiced without relating them to meaning. The order of the activities follows directly the order of presentation of vocabulary and grammar in the corresponding Tema of the textbook and the final Tema of the SAM reviews material from throughout the chapter contextualized in a real-life setting.
