A French text which includes a grammar review, exercises and activities, readings with reading strategies - with both author-written and contemporary authentic selections - and cultural material from France and the Francophone world.

A one-volume intermediate French text which includes a grammar review, with grammar explanations in English for easy student access, exercises and activities, readings with reading strategies - with both author-written and contemporary authentic selections - and cultural material from France and the Francophone world. Also included is a special chapter designed for students who plan to study abroad, providing them with practical information without glossing over the difficulties they will encounter. In this new edition, "l'Art d'Ecrire" process writing sections give step-by-step guidance for writing. The writing models and readings are drawn from both contemporary authentic and literary sources, and half of the readings are new. The amount of manipulative exercises has been reduced in favour of more communicative, interactive activities. The "On se Debrouille" sections have been revised and present functional expressions relating to specific situations students may encounter in French-speaking countries. Retaining its light, often humorous tone, this edition also features a stronger illustration programme.
