A Research and an Adaptation of Methodologies to Develop Supplementary Materials and Activities for the Study of Foreign Language

The use of a typical textbook tor the instruction of the first year study of the Spanish language appears to be tedious as well as inadequate in its presentation of grammar drills, vocabulary selection, and its potential of allowing the student to develop fluency in the language.
