With the main text in English and the emphasis placed firmly on showing Spain and her people, past and present, this colourfully presented introduction to Spanish life and culture gives the student a very broad overview of the complete Spain. Easy to follow for beginners and enjoyable to use, "En España" reveals information on a whole host of topics, from "Las orígines de España" to "La España de hoy", "Educación" to "Vida familiar", and "Influencias" to "Fiestas". Plenty of authentic material is included such as newspaper job advertisements and restaurant menus, and questions relevant to each topic area feature throughout. The separate "En España" workbook provides an excellent source of realia-based language activities, many of which use authentic material from magazines and brochures. While both textbook and workbook can be used together, they can equally be used independently. Teachers will find answers included in the teacher's edition of the workbook.
