Spanish in Contact

El cuento hispánico: A Graded Literary Anthology , Eighth Edition, is designed for intermediate college Spanish reading courses. This book provides students with a collection of fi rst-rate Spanish-language short stories with which to expand their reading skills and their knowledge of Hispanic culture as por- trayed in these works. Although literary excellence was the primary crite- rion in selecting stories, an effort was also made to choose tales that can be read in one sitting.

With culturally thematic chapters and a traditionally organized grammar sequence, this is a solid and complete introductory course. It is ideal for instructors who want a balanced, contemporary course but not necessarily an innovative methodology. Although chapter changes in the new edition include an overall shortening, a trimming of grammar detail, and adding more visually-based activities, the basic methodology remains unchanged.

La obra constituye una magnífica obra de referencia para el hablante de raíces anglófonas que estudia español como lengua extranjera porque en él se aborda, desde una óptica contrastiva español-inglés y con gran sencillez y claridad expositiva, un área de la gramática española cuya adquisición y aprendizaje suele resultarle bastante problemática al estudiante extranjero: el paradigma de los verbos atributivos que denotan cambio de estado.
