Based on the communicative approach to language learning this series provides examples that will help students learn how native speakers of these languages perform in their appropriate cultural contexts. The activities in these texts are tailored to assist learners in acquiring the necessary skills such as listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The Let’s Read series is an intermediate level text and addresses these content areas with greater complexity and sophistication than the elementary series – allowing students to understand, speak, read, and write the language with increased fluency and confidence.
