About the Book

"A Vous!" is a complete introductory French program that makes learning French easier through its flexible and accessible approach. The program integrates the best aspects of theories in second-language acquisition and focuses on skills crucial to the learning and use of a foreign language. The program incorporates high-frequency vocabulary that is of interest to today's students, grammar explanations that are complete and comprehensible, a focus on all skills, task-based activities that simulate what students will do during their first travel - or study -abroad experience, and high-interest cultural topics that invite cross-cultural comparisons. This innovative and comprehensive approach to the introduction of French language and culture asks students to use their analytical skills while participating in a highly interactive and personalized learning experience.
