This Support Book/Cassette Set accompanies the first part of the best-selling two-stage Spanish course designed specifically for the adult learner. Learners progress to an intermediate level of Spanish in 14 thematic units, including two revision chapters. Each unit is designed to provide material for two two-hour evening classes. While retaining the practical and realistic approach of GCSE-type courses, Pasos 1 goes beyond immediate transactional language. From the beginning, the student is exposed to a range of vocabulary and is encouraged to develop the essential skill of gist comprehension. The use of English is kept to a minimum in the body of the book, but grammatical and vocabulary support is given in brief at the end of each lesson and in full at the back of the book. The emphasis is placed on practical, oral comprehension. The course comprises a Student"s Book and a Support Book/Audio Pack. The support book contains audio transcripts and a key to exercises as an aid to the independent learner. The two audio cassettes have been revised in line with full conversion from from Pesetas to Euros.
