This three-stage new edition of this Spanish course for beginners leads to public examinations. Experienced practitioners and users of "!Vaya!" have been consulted and their suggestions have been incorporated into this new edition. It has been written to meet the requirements of the National Curriculum and the 5-14 Guidelines. Stages 1, 2 and 3 of "!Vaya! Nuevo" should prepare students for GCSE/Key Stage 4 examinations and Standard Grade.The key features of this course include: a carefully structured progression throughout; meets the need of a wide ability range; fully communicative course with short-term, attainable goals; a wealth of opportunity for fun and creativity, including songs, poems, cartoons, puzzles and games; encourages independent learning, and develops study skills (for example dictionary skills); fully integrated assessment, both formative and summative; emphasis on use of the target language throughout; and a fully integrated information technology package.Stage 1 of "!Vaya! Nuevo" is set in Malaga, and uses as its theme a holiday in the Costa del Sol. All the topics and activities are set in an authentic context, and prepare students for such a holiday, whilst giving insights into everyday Spanish life.
