Alliages culturels: La societe française en transformation (with Premium Web Site Printed Access Card)
The activities, audio and video supports are superb. Instructors who do not consider this textbook for a course on contemporary France are doing their students a disservice. Recommended without reservation."Chapters have been carefully articulated, and the whole builds a broad and deep picture of contemporary French culture in its diversity and complexity."I congratulate the authors on their conscious incorporation of linguistic supports and reminders, an element that is usually missing in culture texts."[The] approach will definitely benefit a vast array of students (with different majors) and will help them - via a 'scaffold' teaching methodology - to develop their analytic and linguistic skills in French.
