Synopsis

"A vous!", an innovative and comprehensive introduction to French language and culture, integrates the five skills - listening, speaking, writing, reading and culture - with the five senses - touching, seeing, tasting, smelling and hearing. Students are encouraged to link an analytical approach to studying the French language with a personal, sensorial experience, much as they would encounter in the French-speaking countries of the world. They are given the opportunity to explore French culture and the delightful flavours of francophone cuisine through recipes presented in the textbook and in the video. Art, featured throughout the "A Vous!" program, provides a visual approach to culture, while audio and video clips of native speakers expose students to the various accents and dialectical differences within the francophone world. "A vous!" presents both inductive and deductive grammar presentations, along with practical vocabulary and coverage of the francophone culture. The five skills are integrated into each chapter, as well as the National Standards for Foreign Language Learning, with special emphasis on cross-cultural comparisons.
