In creating Musical Spanish, which consists of a well-designed, 112-page, four-color book, music CD, and interactive CD-ROM, Stacey Tipton has cleverly combined students’ love of popular music and computers. Taking ten popular songs and changing the lyrics to fit specific learning objectives while at the same time using clever animations that move across the lyrics on the computer screen in keeping with the beat of the music, Tipton has produced an innovative and engaging method for helping students gain confidence in their Spanish skills, especially their oral skills, and have a blast doing it. Great for beginning Spanish students of all ages, Musical Spanish more importantly promotes the retention of essential grammar structures, since students are not so much memorizing grammar rules as learning them intrinsically through the music.
