Introducing the USA: A Cultural Reader

Do you know how old the oldest tree is? Do you know what U.S. government building has its own fire department? Entertaining and informative, Introducing the USA features twenty-eight units about typically American people, places, and things. Beginning students expand their knowledge of the USA as they read about Washington, D.C., popcorn, Native Americans, the buffalo, and more. A stimulating discussion section encourages students to become involved in engaging cross-cultural exchanges. Realistic photographs and amusing illustrations provide a context for the readings, and sections on vocabulary development, comprehension, and grammar complete each unit.
