Aula Internacional - Nueva edicion: Student's Book + exercises + CD 1 (bilingu

Product Information

Aula Internacional 1 is meant to introduce people to the Spanish language and take them through the vocabulary, topics and grammar structures they need to have basic and simple conversations. It’s main goal is to provide beginners with useful structures that they can use to navigate through easy daily-life situations. Additionally, you can create a free account to have access to some interactive exercises and videos that will help you reinforce concepts learned. In some lessons, you’ll find a suggested video, but it’s not clear where you can access them. They’re not in the online-free resources and it seems that you have to pay extra money for them which I don’t like. Although many Spanish textbooks try to use a standard set of vocabulary, the truth is that each author is influenced by their Spanish variant. In this case, Aula Internacional 3 and Aula Internacional 4 have a Castilian Spanish influence. You’ll see this in some vocabulary and conjugations. In other words, you’ll be reviewing more advanced applications of the present tense, reflexive verbs, and expressions of time. As for your new topics, you’ll be in touch with different tenses of the subjunctive tense, indirect speech, passive structures, and imperative mode. It contains different activities to reinforce the student’s writing, speaking, listening and reading skills.

Both Aula Internacional 3 and Aula Internacional 4 a printed and digital versions that you can only use with your computer. This version is considerably more expensive and to be honest, it seems to be perfect for the teacher but not the student. Considering that it is difficult to find good Spanish textbooks for intermediate students, Aula Internacional 3 and Aula Internacional 4 are great books that will help you learn new concepts.Unlike other Spanish textbooks for intermediate students that have the whole level in one volume, in this case, you’ll need two books to complete the level. El certificado final de lengua y cultura española C1 ha sido recientemente incluido por UCAS como uno de los certificados oficiales reconocibles en el sistema de acceso a las universidades británicas. Niños y jóvenes desde los 7 hasta los 18 años. Salto de línea Salto de línea Objetivo del programa Salto de línea

Something to keep in mind is that both books are perfect for adults. So if you want your kids or teens to start learning Spanish, this book is not the most appropriate for them. Design & Learning “User” Experience

B2.3 Advanced 3

The reading and cultural sections contain advanced words and structures. In fact, this section is not very useful in daily-life situations. Aula Internacional 1 follows the Instituto Cervantes (the main institution that promotes and teaches Spanish around the world) program. As a result, they try to use a standard Spanish that learners can apply in other Spanish countries. To be honest with you, these grammar explanations are not enough: as a teacher, it was my responsibility to prepare further information and some extra exercises just to reinforce these concepts. So if you’re using this book yourself, be prepared to go online and try to find more extensive explanations.

This means that you’ll be following a program widely used and that, eventually, will allow you to get a certificate if that’s your goal. So if you’re about to start your intermediate level and you’re looking for a textbook that allows you to practice all your skills, Aula Internacional 3 and Aula Internacional 4 are the best options for you. Thanks to its design and structure, this book is very easy to use and understand. And, if like me, you always want to know what you’re learning, in each lesson you’ll find listed all the topics that you’ll learn and the situations where you can apply them. After reviewing these Spanish textbooks for intermediate, here are some cons and pros that you should be aware of. Don’t get me wrong, these books are a very good tool but you have to be prepared to do some research and find ways to practice on your own. Aula Internacional books are perfect for those people who want to learn Spanish in a more structured way and that at some point want to get a certificate. At the end of your book, you can find a ‘more grammar section’ and ‘more exercises section’. As you may imagine, here you’ll find more information and extra practice.

Conclusion

The last reading section is more about culture and it’s not very helpful since they use very formal language. Since it’s all written in Spanish, following the instructions can be challenging for some students, especially, if they’re self-studying.
