Bonne continuation: approfondissement à l'écrit et à l'oral - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

For one-semester/two-quarter, advanced/intermediate courses in Intermediate French (4th semester) and French Conversation and Composition (5th semester). This textbook prepares and encourages students to continue their study of French. A varied collection of literary and expository texts, organized under four broad themes (arts, tradition and culture, love and friendship, the past in the present), fosters development of linguistic skills. The readings engage the students in comprehension and interpretation while providing a context for the natural application of grammatical principles. Vocabulary building, including guidance in dictionary usage, is emphasized. Through this approach, students gain confidence in their language development and prepare for subsequent language, literature, and civilization courses.

Contraportada

Bonne continuation is designed for students continuing from intermediate to advanced levels of French in fourth- and fifth-semester courses. It provides a rich variety of authentic content through which linguistic skills can be practiced and enhanced.

The four main Unités are organized around themes - the visual arts, folklore and tradition, love and friendship, and the presence of the past in the contemporary world. In each Unité, engaging short stories, poems, songs and expository selections such as newspaper articles, art reviews, historical discussions or letters offer different perspectives from which to view the central topic. The accompanying activities draw from and expand on the topics of the readings, and are designed to improve reading comprehension and writing skills, to encourage progress in listening and speaking, to increase vocabulary and to reinforce the students' ability to use the structures of French appropriately. A presentation of grammar structures follows each unit for easy reference and practice.
