shows of the series use the powerful appeal of a uniquely Hispanic genre - the telenovela (soap opera) - to make language and culture come alive. The situation and context of each episode introduce students to the basic structures, language functions and vocabulary groups of Spanish that are presented in most introductory- and intermediate-level Spanish courses. Both volumes of this "Student Viewer's Handbook to Accompany Destinos, Second Edition", is designed to help instructors and students use "Destinos" as a supplement in a wide variety of courses, at beginning, intermediate, or advanced levels of instruction. By using the handbook, instructors and students will enjoy viewing the 52 half-hour episodes of the television series more and get more out of them. Also contained in the second edition of the handbook is additional information about the series characters, cultural information from around the Spanish-speaking world, and process writing tasks, all of which will enhance Spanish instruction at all levels.
