¡A Su Salud! (set): Spanish for Health Professionals

¡A Su Salud! is an interactive intermediate-level Spanish language program designed for students and practicing healthcare professionals. Learners work with vocabulary and grammar within the context of a telenovela called "La comunidad". The multimedia approach allows learners not only to absorb grammar and vocabulary but also to connect with other aspects of language learning that also carry meaning: where the conversation is taking place, who is speaking, the physical state of the speakers, the gestures that accompany the words, and the purpose of the exchange.

The ¡A Su Salud! package includes two DVDs, one CD-ROM, and the Cuaderno (Workbook). The DVDs contain the telenovela La Comunidad,along with accompanying interactive exercises. The CD-ROM provides software to make ¡A Su Salud! interactiveand adaptable for online learning, self-study, a traditional classroom course or a distance-learning program.

Major features of the program include:

• A 96-minute telenovela-style drama set in a healthcare center.

• Repaso sectionsin each unit for grammar and vocabulary review.
