Rezensionen

"Macías Fernández and Pountain have curated an exciting collection of ultra-contemporary short texts that vary in theme, difficulty, country of origin, and type of source text. The accompanying activities will help students master vocabulary and key grammatical topics, while helping teachers assess comprehension and organize class discussions and projects."

Judy Hochberg, Fordham University, USA.

"From inclusive language to artivism in Cuba, from the Spanish of Equatorial Guinea to the fight for justice in El Salvador, El mundo hispanohablante en textos offers a rich, vibrant collection of texts accompanied by carefully-designed activities that bring to life the cultural and linguistic diversity

of the Hispanic world. A very welcome resource."

Ángeles Carreres, University of Cambridge, UK.

"El mundo hispanohablante en textos approaches the didactisation of authentic written texts for the Spanish-language classroom in a fresh and reinvigorating way. This is an invaluable resource that not only offers students a glimpse into the Hispanic world through texts, but also supports Spanish-language educators in fostering a pluricentric language learning experience for students. An essential addition to any intermediate or advanced Spanish-language course."

Craig Neville, University College Cork, Ireland.

"The collection of texts which has been assembled by Macías Fernández and Pountain successfully brings up to date and improves on the long-standing tradition of Spanish readers. With modern Panhispanic verve, they have selected texts not only from Europe (Spain) and America (various countries, including Mexico, Guatemala, Argentina and Chile), but also from Africa (Equatorial Guinea). This collection will be excellent for intermediate and advanced students who are trying to improve their lexical knowledge, syntactic competence and sociolinguistic insight in Spanish, thanks not only to the variety of pedagogical activities it offers but also to the extensive glossary provided."

Daniel M. Sáez Rivera, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Centro Complutense para la Enseñanza del Español, Spain.

"It is really inspiring to see how Macías Fernández and Pountain have managed to create through El mundo hispanoblante en textos a much-needed resource in the teaching of Spanish as a foreign language in Higher Education and beyond which shows the pluricultural and global dimensions of the subject under study. The collection of texts and authors is a tribute to these aspects, and it arrives at a time when real efforts are being made to decolonise the curriculum. The variety of themes and activities that the book covers will provide learners and teachers with a very valuable set of tools to enhance their understanding of the Spanish-speaking cultures."

Isabel Moros, University of Exeter, UK.

"Reading comprehension is fundamental to language learning. The reader El mundo hispanohablante en textos is a magnificent tool both for teachers and students of Spanish, introducing us to the different realities which coexist in the Spanish-speaking world. Reading and working with this book has a double usefulness, both linguistic and cultural.

La comprensión lectora resulta primordial para consolidar el aprendizaje de una lengua: el libro de lecturas El mundo hispanohablante en textos representa una magnífica herramienta, tanto para profesores como para estudiantes de español, además de acercarnos a diferentes realidades que conviven en el mundo hispano. Leer este libro y trabajar con él nos aporta una doble utilidad, la lingüística y la cultural."

Rafael Nevado Gómez, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain.

"'Variety is the spice of life', as the traditional proverb goes. Thanks to this anthology, collated by Macías Fernández and Pountain, this can be applied not only to life, but also to the Spanish L2 classroom. The texts selected by the authors are as diverse and rich as the Spanish-speaking world itself. Beyond their variety, the authenticity of the teaching materials included (discussion prompts, modern cultural content, vocabulary, grammar, and writing exercises, all with accompanying answer keys) make this new anthology the new "spice" of every innovative Spanish classroom."
