Supplementary Materials for the Fifth Edition
The supplements listed here may accompany the fifth edition of ¿Qué tal? Please contact your local McGraw-Hill Higher Education representative for details concerning policies, prices, and availability, as some restrictions may apply.
- Workbook / Laboratory Manual and Audio Program, by Alice Arana (formerly of Fullerton College), Oswaldo Arana (formerly of California State University, Fullerton), and María Sabló-Yates (Delta College). The two volumes of the Workbook / Laboratory Manual continue the successful format of previous editions but in a newly combined supplement.
Also available are cassette tapes or audio CDs (for student purchase or free to adopting institutions), as well as a Tapescript.
- The Instructor's Edition of the student text, revised by Ana María Pérez-Gironés (Wesleyan University) contains on-page suggestions, supplementary exercises for developing listening and speaking skills, and variations and follow-ups on student text materials. Vocabulary (Paso 1: Vocabulario) and grammar (Pasos 2 and 3: Gramática) presentation annotations appear in the bound-in section at the back of the Instructor's Edition. Annotations to exercises, however, appear directly on the page.
- An exclusive integrated two-hour video is new to the fifth edition of ¿Qué tal?, filmed on location in Mexico, Ecuador, Spain, and the United States. A unique feature of the video is its guide, a Hispanic professor who introduces each vignette and prepares students for what they will see in each scene. The video is integrated into the program through each chapter opener, the Videoteca section of each chapter, and the CD-ROM.
- The new CD-ROM is available in both Windows and Macintosh platforms. The CD-ROM contains activities that practice all four skills: reading, writing, listening, and speaking, in an engaging format. Videoclips, cultural information, e-mails, and links to the World Wide Web are all just part of this new addition to the ¿Qué tal? package.
- The Instructor's Manual and Resource Kit offers an extensive introduction to teaching techniques, general guidelines for instructors, suggestions for lesson planning, models for vocabulary introduction, conversation cards, supplementary exercises, and suggestions for the various sections of the student text. Also included are a wide variety of interactive and communicative games for practicing vocabulary and grammar, created by Linda H. Colville (Citrus College) and Deanna Alonso (Southwestern College).
- Packaged with every new student text is a free Student Tape or CD that provides additional vocabulary practice for the Paso 1: Vocabulario sections of the text.
- The Testing Program includes five tests for each chapter: two communicative, two grammar-based, and one makeup exam. Also included are semester and quarter exams.
- Available in both Windows and Macintosh platforms, the Computerized Testing Program contains the tests found in the printed Testing Program, but provides the flexibility of electronically modifying or adapting the tests to suit the needs of your students.
- A set of overhead transparencies, many in full color, contains drawings from the text and supplementary drawings for use with vocabulary and grammar presentation.
- Available in both PC and Macintosh platforms, the McGraw-Hill Electronic Language Tutor (MHELT) offers most of the more controlled exercises from the student text as well as some supplementary mechanical practice. It is also included on the CD-ROM to accompany ¿Qué tal?
- Sets of slides from various parts of the Spanish-speaking world, with activities for classroom use, are also available to adopting institutions.
- A training/orientation manual for use with teaching assistants, by James F. Lee (University of Indiana at Bloomington), offers practical advice for beginning language instructors and language coordinators.
- The software program Spanish Tutor, available for purchase by students, helps students master first-year vocabulary and grammar topics. It was developed at Vanderbilt University by Monica Morley and Karl Fisher.

- The McGraw-Hill Video Library of Authentic Spanish Materials consists of various volumes of video materials.

This robust CD-ROM, available for student purchase, contains numerous detailed maps along with visuals and textual information (in English) about key events in history, famous figures, important cities, and so on. The detail and information provided significantly enhance the foreign language experience from a cultural, historical, and geographical perspective.
