Abstract:

Students of advanced Spanish share a desire to use and understand the
language, even as their backgrounds and goals for the language may vary
widely. En otras palabras provides advanced learners of Spanish with hands-on
manipulation of grammatical, lexical, and cultural detail through the practice
of translation (traducción). This challenging and enjoyable textbook—now in
its second edition with up-to-date texts on current events, new exercises, and
new and expanded instructions—presents students with incisive grammar
explanation, relevant lexical information, and a wide variety of translation
texts and exercises in order to increase their mastery of the Spanish
language.

En otras palabras contains Spanish texts to be translated into English as well
as English texts for translation into Spanish. Translating into English
requires students to understand every detail of the Spanish text and decide
how these details might best be expressed in English. Translating into Spanish
requires students to recognize how Spanish structures and words do—and do
not—parallel those of English. Both activities provide advanced students of
Spanish with an invigorating linguistic workout and serve as an effective
introduction to the practice of translation.

Translation is a cultural as well as a linguistic activity; for students,
learning how to translate provides invaluable experience of the inseparability
of language and culture. En otras palabras addresses the errors made by
advanced learners of Spanish while involving students in the pleasurable,
problem-solving process of translation. This second edition contains a wide
variety of usage-based exercises for both individual and group work. Concise
and complete texts feature narrative and description, marketing and publicity
materials, medical and legal topics, sports journalism, and internet posts.

En otras palabras is designed for a three-credit semester class; an online
Instructor's Manual is provided at no charge to professors who adopt the text
in their classrooms.
