Interaction

The completely revised workbook provides new oral and written activities which progress methodically from comprehension to expression. A new section, Prononcez bien!, focuses on a specific phonetic difficulty that students may encounter in each given chapter. The written activities in the manual offer practice on every point of structure in the unit and culminate in a suggested composition that features a process-oriented writing approach and also incorporates web-based research. A realia-based writing activity completes this section. In addition, new A l'ecran! Sections provide activities based on appropriate segments of the new video program that accompanies the Seventh Edition.
