The beautifully produced video, shot on location, introduces native speakers from across the Francophone world, who address the topics and themes of each chapter in varied settings and contexts. Carefully integrated with the Points de départ and Vie et culture sections through explicit activities and extensive annotations to the instructor, the video is easy to incorporate into daily lesson plans. In each chapter, the textbook’s Observons exercise and the Video Manual activities take a process-oriented approach to the development of viewing skills.
