Laboratory Manual to accompany Puntos de partida: An Invitation to Spanish

Emphasizes listening comprehension activities as well as cultural listening passages with listening strategies. Chapters offer form-focused speaking practice as well as interview and dialogue-based activities, including the Videoteca: Minidramas section in which students first hear a sample dialogue and then play the role of a participant in a similar exchange to apply what they’ve learned. The Prueba corta is a chapter-ending self-quiz that allows students to assess their language development before moving on to the next chapter.
