The philosophy of this best-selling introductory text is to emphasize communicative proficiency. Based on the Natural Approach, the text stresses the use of activities in a natural and spontaneous classroom atmosphere. In this comprehension-based approach, the development of receptive skills listening and reading precedes and forms the basis for the development of the productive skills speaking and writing. "Dos mundos" is designed so that class time can be devoted to exposing students to Spanish through the abundant activities and readings in the text, allowing the grammar explanations and exercises to be studied outside of class.
Deux mondes" is widely regarded as the most communicative text available for beginning French courses. Based on the Natural Approach, developed by Tracy Terrell and Stephen Krashen, "Deux mondes, Fourth Edition" offers beginning language students a way to develop language proficiency, especially in listening and speaking, that allows students to participate in real conversations at a very early stage. The Natural Approach in general, and "Deux mondes, Fourth Edition"" in particular," present material inductively (so that the activities drive the grammar) and in the context of culturally rich themes and topics. This text clearly sets itself apart from the competition: with "Deux mondes," students quickly become excited with their rapid growth in comprehension and vocabulary acquisition, and enjoy speaking in the non-threatening environment made possible by the activity formats.
Deux mondes, third edition is widely regarded as the most communicative text available for beginning French courses. Based on the Natural Approach, developed by Tracy Terrell and Stephen Krashen, Deux mondes, third edition offers a way of teaching beginning language students that helps them develop proficiency, especially in listening and speaking, and allows students to participate in real discussion at a very early stage. The Natural Approach in general, and Deux mondes, third edition in particular, present material inductively (so that the activities drive the grammar) and in the context of culturally rich themes and topics.
