Using a variety of strategies and methods, Avance first introduces students to the Spanish language and then broadens their understanding and command of the language, while emphasising its cultural context. Each unit thoroughly covers all of the key language skills and includes a variety of grammar and vocabulary exercises and adaptable communicative tasks to suit a wide ability range. Listening practice using authentic recordings, writing practice, in-depth reading comprehension and useful sections for revision and consolidation also feature in each unit. A transcript of the recordings is included at the end of the textbooks.
