**The printing errors in Pasos 1 Fourth Edition have been
corrected** Pasos 1: Spanish Beginner's Course is a multi-format
Spanish adult learning programme for classroom and home use. Fully
revised and updated for this new edition, the course includes a
coursebook, course pack, activity book and CD and DVD set plus
online activities. What do I get? The Pasos 1 Activity Book has
been revised to tie in with 4th edition of the course with updated
prices and references. It contains extra activities to consolidate
and expand the material in the Coursebook (9781473610682) and
grammar sections practising specific language points. As with the
Coursebook, two main revision units summarise what has been
learned, providing reading texts with comprehension and writing
tasks. Ideal for faster learners or for practice of a specific
area, the Activity Book can be used alongside the Pasos 1
Coursebook or as self-access material for learners of Spanish using
any course. Activities include word searches, crosswords, cultural
quizzes, extra reading and comprehension tasks, and gap-fill
conjugation exercises. What is Pasos 1? A best-selling multi-media
Spanish course for adult learners Pasos 1, fourth edition, is the
first part of the best-selling two-stage Spanish course for adult
learners who are either starting from scratch or who have a basic
knowledge of the language. Whether learning for work or pleasure,
at home or in the classroom, Pasos gives a thorough grounding in
the language, enabling learners to speak, read, write and
understand a language spoken by over 400 million people. It has
been fully updated and revised in this new edition. What will I
learn in Pasos 1? Key language structures and communication Pasos 1
introduces the key structures of the language over 14 thematic
lessons with the emphasis placed firmly on communication. Authentic
reading and listening materials are used extensively for a wide
range of lively activities based on everyday situations in Spain
and Latin America. Vocabulary and grammar From the outset, a
realistic range of registers and vocabulary encourage development
of the essential skill of comprehension. Clear examples and
explanations make the grammar easy to absorb, and emphasis is
placed on the acquisition of a wide range of essential vocabulary
from an early stage. Culture and skills for daily life This edition
takes account of developments in modern life, such as new
technology and practical communication. Units begin with a
Preparate page of activities and include plenty of grammar tasks.
The Rincon Cultural feature presents short texts of cultural
interest and each unit ends with an Autoevaluacion self-assessment
checklist enabling students to review what they have learned. Audio
track references on a page-by-page basis ensure that listening
activities are easily identified and online resources provide extra
practice of essential language. The new video, filmed entirely in
Spain, brings authentic culture and language in the classroom. GCSE
level material Pasos 1 covers the skills and structures required at
GCSE level and equivalent. How will I learn? Balance and variety
Balance and variety are prominent features of the Pasos course:
freer activities accompany graded, accuracy-based tasks, and there
is a balance between presentation and practice of new language
items and between the study and use of grammar and vocabulary, the
cornerstones of language-learning. There are regular opportunities
for revision and consolidation, and vocabulary and grammar support
are given both at the end of each lesson and in full at the end of
the book. Interactive quizzes and exercises Brush up and reinforce
your learning at home, with fun, interactive online quizzes and
exercises. Or use them in class with the group. Speaking and
Grammar guides With speaking becoming ever more important in
today's accreditations, the Pasos 1 range offers a 2-CD Speaking
and Listening Skills Practice Set. There is also a dedicated
Practical Grammar reference and practice book. It contains clear,
accessible grammar explanations with examples and extension in both
Spanish and English. Group or independent study Pasos 1 is ideal
for group study and is also useful for independent study and
revision. What is new in the fourth edition? (NEW) Pasos 1 CD and
DVD set: Supplementary to the Coursebook. Filmed entirely in Spain
using native speakers, this brand new resource contains 12
colourful episodes which tie in with the lessons in the coursebook.
Perfect for training students' listening skills, the Pasos 1 video
is designed to reinforce vocabulary and language structures while
adding an additional cultural element to the course. It also
provides the ideal basis for group discussions. There are numerous
linked activities for use in class or for self-study, which can be
found in a new section at the end of the coursebook. Optional
sub-titles will help students to find their way through each of the
episodes and give them the confidence to approach spoken Spanish
with real understanding. Improvements and additions The new edition
has improvements and additions based on ideas and feedback from
teachers and learners across the country. It has been fully updated
