From the author of Contos com Nível series, Ana Sousa Martins, in collaboration with co-author Ana Paula Gonçalves and illustrator Sofia Alcântara, comes this new series dedicated to children and young people, which can also be used by learners of other age groups.
Histórias do Mundo is a collection dedicated to extensive reading for PLE, PLH and PLNM for A1, A2 and B1 levels, which gives protagonism to reading`s role as a strong enhancer of second language acquision. This collection brings us traditional stories from all continentes, celebrating cultural diversity, meticulously rewritten to provide an easy and enriching reading experience.
This volume was specially developed for learners from level B1 and above. These engaging tales offer a great reading experience for those who want to go a little further in acquiring the Portuguese language.
In Histórias do Mundo B1 - Livro com Áudio you will find traditional tales of universal reach, written in a simplified language, which tell us about distant places and show us different cultures, on a long journey that passes through Asia, Africa and the Middle East, also covering several European countries. The adapted retelling of the stories does not at any point hinder the natural narrative tone. On the contrary, this volume stands out for the introduction of idioms, colloquialisms and more diverse sentence structures.
Every word, phrase and sentence has been carefully considered, providing a conversational dialogue and an effortless and fun read! At the same time, the learner reviews and acquires new vocabulary, consolidates sentence structures and develops fluency. The most difficult words are explained in the margin of the page, sometimes through small illustrations, designed specifically for this collection. The reader also has access to the audio version of all the stories, through QR codes available throughout the book, as well as some exercises, so that they can read and listen to the texts simultaneously, or separately, at any time of the day. At the end of the book, they will also be able to find a glossary, which allows a quick review of words that still present difficulties for the learner.
Target-Audience
Aimed especially at children, Histórias do Mundo will be able to captivate adult audiences too, as it tells stories that cut across all generations.
