Mastering Spanish through Global Debate

"Mastering Spanish through Global Debate is a one-semester textbook ed for use by students with Advanced-level Spanish language skills, moving toward Superior. Like in the English, Russian, and Chinese volumes in the Mastering Languages through Global Debate series, each chapter in Mastering Spanish gives students the tools to debate on a broad, timely topic, such as environmental consciousness vs. economic progress, wealth distribution vs. self-reliance, and personal freedom vs. national security. Each chapter includes a topic-specific reading text with pre- and post-reading activities, listening exercises that accompany audio files (available on the GU Press website), and a rhetorical methods section to help students prepare for end-of-chapter debates. In addition, associated ACTFL Can-Do Statements are provided for each chapter to help teachers better align the textbook with their teaching and learning objectives"--
