GENERAL DESCRIPTION
DESTINOS: AN INTRODUCTION TO SPANISH (PART II) is the second half
of a two-semester Spanish language telecourse. It is designed
to give students full communicative proficiency in Spanish-listening,
speaking, reading and writing. DESTINOS uses a uniquely Hispanic
genre, the telenovela," to combine a dramatic storyline with
instruction.
The story begins with a wealthy Mexican patriarch, nearing the
end of his life, who reveals a secret he has kept from his family
for years. Raquel Rodriguez, a Mexican-American lawyer, is hired
to help him learn the answers to some important questions. Raquel's
search takes her to Spain, Argentina, Puerto Rico, and back to
Mexico, exposing students to the rich and diversified cultural
context in which Spanish is spoken worldwide. The situation and
context of each episode introduce students to the basic structures,
language functions and vocabulary groups that are presented in
the programs and resource materials. DESTINOS: AN INTRODUCTION
TO SPANISH is part of the Annenberg/CPB Multimedia Collection.
