ADDITIONAL TEACHING MATERIAL

The upgrading and the permanent complementation of materials for SEÑOR ESPAÑOL constitutes one of the fundamental objectives of this teaching method. In this way, students will be able to put into practice the knowledge acquired in talking contexts DIFFERENT to those they already know, leading to a greater degree of enrichment for their overall learning process.

• ANSWER BOOKS for all those COURSE exercises which appear in other formats (TEXT BOOKS, CD-ROM) and where the correct answer has not been included.
• NEW EXERCISES which respond to all of the styles already developed in other aspects of the method, and which are distributed, based on their degree of difficulty both by TEACHING UNITS and by MODULES.
• SPECIMEN EXAMS (test style, self-correcting), similar to those each student will have to pass before going on to a superior MODULE, within each learning level.

YOUR PERSONAL TUTOR

Each student registered in SEÑOR ESPAÑOL is assigned a PERSONAL TUTOR; an expert in the teaching of Spanish as foreign language and one whom the student may consult as often as he or she considers it necessary, for a better and more complete understanding of the course.

Access to this service is possible not only via the WEB SITE, but also by activating the YOUR PERSONAL TUTOR button, to be found on all screens, on each CD-ROM.
