This intermediate French program focuses on interaction and critical thinking while exploring high-interest themes through a set of authentic readings. The readings trigger a wide array of communicative activities and provide cultural information. Strategy sections for reading and writing build students' skills and hone their analytical abilities. End-of-chapter grammar sections review, expand on, and practice all essential grammar concepts.</p>

The centerpiece of each chapter, the Dossier section develops the chapter theme through five authentic and diverse cultural and literary selections, each of which expresses a different viewpoint on the topic. Full pre- and post-reading activities are provided.</p>
