ASIN: 1581970587 |
Book Description
This study guide targets teacher competencies and skills for Spanish. You read four years of material between the covers of one study guide. Regardless if your is multiple choice or essay format you will have ample material to reflect upon to do well on these formats.The majority of XAM study guides have 125 question multiple choice sample tests. the questions are medium to hard in difficulty but reasonable for a trained teacher candidate to answer. Since the questions do highly resemble the real test we are frequently asked if they are formker tests. They are not. If any question from our book appears on the test it would be a coincidence.
XAM Publishing, Inc. has e-mail support at winwin1111@aol.com. XAM staff welcomes your updates and values your input. Each year a new version of the study guide is released so you may have the best in educational research.

I could have written this study guide myself.......2005-06-05
Lack of editing/other mistakes makes for a poor review text.......2004-05-09
I haven't bothered to read all of the sections in the "Familiarity with Hispanic Culture" section, because the little bit I have read has factual errors. Spain is not divided into "15 regions," and even if it were, these "15 regions" are listed as "the north," "the central region," "the south" and "the east", due to a poorly constructed paragraph - that's still only four "regions". If you can ignore the faulty syntax, you could then learn the names of 14 of the "regions" of Spain, which is still not quite right, since Spain is divided into 50 provinces each of which is within one of 17 autonomous communities. The authors left out Asturias, las Islas Baleares and las Islas Canarias, and additionally collapsed two communities, Castilla-La Mancha and Castilla y León, into a new one, Castilla.
Other errors can be found in the "Grammar and Maps" reference section. For example, it came as a great surprise to me that the 3rd pers. sing future of poder was podrpa and the past participles of escribir and poner are ecrito and puseto, respectively. Although these are most likely "just typos", there was apparently no attempt to edit this book at all.
I also found the few maps and images to ve of very poor quality, and in fact they seem to be nothing more than cheap clip art or copies of images from different web pages. I found the map of Spain that is used in this book on a mail-order bride website and the same fuzzy graphic of Spanish pesetas on a high school student's webpage; where these pictures originally appeared is anybody's guess, since there is no citation in the XAM book or on the other webpages.
Actually, it wasn't just the bad graphic of the Spanish pesetas that caught my attention. The image appears on a page entitled "Money from Spanish-speaking Countries". That poor-quality picture and a list of some out-of-date conversion equivalents in US dollars of the coins and bill shown are all that the XAM authors had to say about money in the Spanish-speaking world. No mention of any other currencies like the peso, quetzal, sol or bolivar, just to name a few. And in a book which has a 2004 copyright date, don't you think they might have mentioned the transition to the Euro in Spain?
The section I was most interested in was the practice test. Unfortunately, and especially after losing confidence in the prep book as a whole after looking through the review and reference pages, I found it to be a great disappointment. There were, of course, many more typos (which is quite ironic, since a great number of questions deal with the test taker's ability to determine whether or not an accent has been used incorrectly or perhaps left out) which left me thinking, perhaps the best preparation this book had to offer was all of the time I spent viewing it with a critical eye to find the mistakes. Too bad. I was really hoping to have found a nice preparation tool for my upcoming Praxis II Exam, but this is, without a doubt, the worst test preparation tool I have ever seen.
