Full Description
The "Pasajes Series" is one of the most widely used and highly respected programs for intermediate Spanish courses in North America. As in previous editions, "Pasajes" is a multi-volume component program. "Pasajes, Fifth Edition", consists of three volumes - a review grammar, a cultural reader, and a literary reader - that are coordinated by theme and by language, chapter by chapter, across all three books. The result is a very flexible program that can be used in any combination and thus is easily adapted to suit a wide variety of instructors and intermediate courses. The fifth edition of "Pasajes" retains the flexible format that has proven successful in programs around the country, while offering a host of changes that keep the materials topical and current.
