Although undeniably written for a younger adolescent audience, this textbook introduces very clearly the principles of the French language that one would find even in a much higher level book such as "Parallèles, Communication et Culture," and is intended for an audience with no background in French. Nearly all French words and phrases are introduced with the English translation upon being first introduced. One aspect of this book that places it among my favourite textbooks is that new vocabulary and grammatical concepts are clearly separated from the main text in individual boxes, allowing one to quickly locate a forgotten word or point of grammar. One should not be discouraged from using this book simply because of the age of its intended audience, because one will not learn "kiddie French" or some such grotesque thing.
I have experience using this book with my French I class, and it really is a good way to start. It provides a large selection of basic vocabulary (much of which I see when attempting to read French news articles, etc, and my own literacy surprises me). It is well-designed, beginning with basic items (meetings and greetings, how to say Hello, How are you?, and so forth), and ending with more obscure items (among the last lessons are indication of position: on, behind, in front of, etc; and adjectives describing people and items). The book is friendly to the eyes, color and illustrations abound. Exercises to reinforce the lesson are plentiful, though for even more extra practice I would suggest purchasing the workbook which accompanies the text. The biggest problem I can see with this book is something that occurs when studying nearly every foreign language (so it shouldn't be taken too hard here): lack of an instructor. Few languages are intuitive, and French sounds can be exceedingly confusing for an Englishperson attempting to learn the language (there are more silent letters than one can count, and things that look one way are pronounced another). This makes a practiced instructor a necessity, and no, tapes don't really work: you must have an interactive person to help correct the tiny accent problems, etc, which occur, and tapes simply cannot respond that way. But, I digress. This is certainly a worthy book, but it's best to wait until you have a class that uses it...in which case you will more than likely be provided with a copy anyway (unless you'd like an extra to keep at home, make markings in, etc). ~
Bought this text book for my daughter who is being tutored by a French teacher. My daughter is 12 but this is the same book the tutor uses in her high school French class. Book is easily understandable and great for the beginner. Book shipped as described in great used condition.
A portion of each lesson is a listening lesson but it comes with no CD. I have searched and don't even know where to get it. Maybe mine was missing this crucial component but without it it's useless. However, as I look at the book I say that the other parts seem to be good.
I found this book confusing because the language lessons were not clearly separate from the cultural information and photos . I was unable to access the online workbook, activities and quizzes the book states are available online. Has useful reference pages about verbs numbers, pronunciation, a dictionary and maps.
The Discovering French series, already containing multiple resources and supplements, has two that are especially important in teaching: The Overhead Visuals and The Testing and Assessment Kit.The Overhead visuals contain numerous high-color transparencies for each lesson and unit. These can be used for vocabulary review, writing practice, and much more. Also, a book of activities that follow the transparencies are available (may be sold seperately).The Testing and Assessment kit contains a wide range of assessment options. There are Lesson Quizzes (one per lesson, include listening, reading, and writing), Unit Tests (two forms per unit, both include listening, reading, writing, and cultural questions), Comprehensive Tests (testing parts of the book - can be used as a mid-term and/or final exam. There is also Portfolio Assessment options, as well as Proficiency Tests for Reading Comprehension, Writing, Listening Comprehension, and Speaking Skills. Audio Tapes (or CDS) are included in this heavy-duty binder.Both of these are very good parts of this course, and will make the teaching experience easier on yourself and your students.
This book is very helpful. Though a lot of the exercises are based on listening. I wish that either the book came with CD or buying it was an option.
different editionn by state is annoying different words and pagination. not totally useful, but better than nothing. cgheck state before purchase
