Book excerpt: "On the Move! Spanish Grammar for Everyday Situations is accurate, engaging, and pedagogically sound. The authors provide concise explanations of complex grammar and incorporate them into chapters organized by the presentation of cultural material relevant to major cities throughout the Spanish-speaking world. This is an innovative approach to teaching grammar in context that will be far more engaging for students than the dry, abstract, and lengthy explanations that one finds in other textbooks. . . . The approach is consistent with content-based teaching and compatible with expectations for the abilities of intermediate-level learners as described by ACTFL Proficiency Standards.” —Juliet Lynd, Illinois State University Features include: A unifying theme of travel offers students the opportunity to develop their grammatical skills in context through the exploration of life and culture in twelve Spanish-speaking citiesEighty original full-color artworks provide panoramic views of each city as well as colorfuldrawings on which are based a wide variety of exercises Brief audio recordings, streaming freely online, allow students to hear for themselves regional differences in accents, intonations, and linguistic variations Text selections showcase both classic and new voices, including such authors as Gabriel García Márquez, Laura Freixas, José María Arguedas, Elizabeth Acevedo, and many others.
