Forty-eight Spanish-English basic instructional programs, 22 supplementary instructional items, and 8 professional resources are synthesized as an aid to material selection in Spanish language arts. Each synthesis of instructional material identifies the material with complete cataloguing information and the specification of components, subject area and emphasis, curriculum role, grade levels, population characteristics, research and development evidence, linguistic content, and language level. Instructional design constructs are then discussed, with a paragraph each devoted to the developer's rationale, learner goals, learner objectives, scope and sequence of content, methodology, means of evaluation, and additional considerations such as physical description and source of the material. Professional materials are described in somewhat shorter resumes. An extensive rationale and user's guide precedes the syntheses. (AMH)
