Laboratory Manual to accompany Puntos de partida: An Invitation to Spanish

by María Sabló-Yates, Marty Knorre, Thalia Dorwick

Emphasizes listening comprehension activities as well as cultural listening passages with listening strategies. Chapters offer form-focused speaking practice as well as interview and dialogue-based activities, including the Minidramas section in which students first hear a sample dialogue and then play the role of a participant in a similar exchange to apply what they’ve learned. The Prueba corta is a chapter-ending self-quiz that allows students to assess their language development before moving on to the next chapter.

A useful tool in my learning experience. I would get the general overview in class, do exercises, and have homework to practice on as well. But I thought the labs in this book did a good job of providing an overview of all that we had learned in the chapter, as well as quizzing us on it. This isn't saying that I was exactly thrilled doing the labs before each exam, just that I thought it was helpful. I would recommend if you were studying spanish.
