Book Description

ISBN-10: 0669355577 | ISBN-13: 978-0669355574 | Publication Date: June 2005 | Edition: 1

Avoiding the excessive rigor of most intermediate texts, "A votre tour!" immerses students in authentic cultural contexts and language to achieve three key objectives: to build and reinforce oral and written communicative skills, to develop reading skills and cultural awareness, and to forge a strong linguistic base. "Reprise," the preliminary unit, engages students at their level. The ten "Unites" that follow each have a clearly defined three-part organization in which student-centered, collaborative activities promote effective self-expression and foster critical thinking skills.

This review is from: A Votre Tour! Intermediate French (Paperback)

This book was extremely successful in reviewing subject matter for daily life. This includes travel, restaurant etiquette, personal relationships, and French literature. On the other hand, it does not give a very comprehensive review of grammar. Its presentation of the subjunctive was especially lacking due to its brevity. This book is most fit for more advanced students who have a handle on the basics, but need help in focusing on interaction with the world.
