An introductory course for students taking French as an option alongside their main degree course. It has been developed specifically for false beginners: students who have a slight acquaintance with the language. The course comprises a student's book, teacher's book and three 60-minute audio cassettes and, through 15 chapters, follows the progress of an English-speaking student studying in Paris, whose achievements are designed to reflect those of the course user. Special features include: activities involving pair and group work; an aid to self-assessment at the end of each chapter; hints on vocabulary learning; and clear and accessible layout including integrated cartoons. The guidance offered by the teachers' book is of particular importance, as lower-level classes in universities are often taught by native-speaking lecturers with little or no teaching training or experience.
