Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Puntos de encuentro is an innovative task and contentbased textbook that rethinks Advanced Spanish instruction. Based on research on second language acquisition in the classroom, it combines languageasdiscourse instruction with contentbased learning.Puntos de encuentro emphasizes the analysis of spoken and written texts drawn from realworld sources, such as journalism, history, literature, and film. Students reflect on language forms and functions in context; then, through taskbased, collaborative activities, they process language and content at higher levels by synthesizing information, distinguishing opinions from facts, drawing comparisons, or debating points of view.The source materials have been carefully selected to introduce students to relevant and engaging issues in the Spanishspeaking world, such as the environment, human rights, indigenism, immigration, or bilingualism. In order to understand these topics better, students are asked to compare Spanishspeaking societies with their own, promoting crosscultural awareness.Using the analysis of complex, contemporary issues as means to achieve advanced proficiency in Spanish results in more language production and increased multicultural understanding, while enhancing critical thinking skills. This groundbreaking approach makes Puntos de encuentro unique among Advanced Spanish textbooks.Mara J. de la Fuente holds a Ph.D. in Spanish and second language acquisition from Georgetown University.
