This highly innovative beginning Spanish text is both task-based (requiring students to use Spanish to complete specific goals or tasks) and content-based, including readings from a variety of disciplines. ¿Sabías que...? represents the practical application of the theories and research presented in Lee and VanPatten's methods text, Making Communicative Language Teaching Happen (a natural companion volume for instructors using this text). The new edition is accompanied by a new CD-ROM, a new Online Learning Center, and more!
