Product Description

This complete, intermediate text is written entirely in French and emphasizes grammar as the key to learning the language. Clear, comprehensive explanations of grammar topics—with comparisons between French and English—are the core of every section, with readings chosen to illustrate the specific topic of each chapter. Readings illustrate the use of structures presented through a variety of genres.

Each reading is preceded by biographical and cultural information and followed by progressively challenging activities that are geared towards students' lives. Three different vocabulary lists—one from the readings, one supplementary, and another that presents non-classical French words related to the chapter topic—help further students' understanding of the material. Synthèse sections bring together the readings and the grammar through written and oral activities.
