Excerpts

CHEZ NOUS, SECOND EDITION, is a complete introductory French program designed for use at colleges and universities over two or three semesters. Within an expansive cultural perspective that embraces metropolitan France and the Francophone world, the Second Edition of CHEZ NOUS offers a thematically organized and highly integrative treatment of Francophone language and culture combined with the best current innovations in foreign language teaching: a functional approach to the teaching of grammar; an emphasis on the spoken language; the use of a wide array of authentic materials to convey the cultural context and develop language skills; and an emphasis on a process approach to skills development. Using a careful progression from skill-getting to skill-using activities and a mature treatment of Francophone culture, the text and its full complement of supplementary materials--including technology-based components--help students develop listening, reading, speaking, and writing skills as well as insights into other cultures by exposing them to authentic, contemporary French and encouraging them to express themselves on a variety of topics. CHEZ NOUS, SECOND EDITION, is distinguished by the following features: integration of lexical and grammatical content within culturally authentic contexts nuanced cultural presentations encompassing the breadth and richness of the Francophone world emphasis on authentic materials and tasks process orientation to skills development richly varied opportunities for classroom practice a cyclical syllabus innovative treatment of pronunciation Features of Chez nous, Second Edition Integration of lexical and grammatical content within culturally authentic contexts A new chapter structure comprises three thematically interrelated lessons that closely integrate the presentation of lexical and grammatical content within interesting and culturally authentic contexts. A culminating fourth lesson, Venez chez nous!, provides expansion activities within a broader cultural framework related to the chapter theme. Richly illustrated presentations convey the cultural connotations of vocabulary words and expressions and provide authentic models of discourse. Newly revised cultural notes expand on the presentations and encourage active student input and cross-cultural comparisons. Each lesson's cultural context is reflected and reinforced in the treatment of grammar. Topics are determined by the functional and communicative needs suggested by the lesson theme. Practice activities recycle the key vocabulary of the lesson through a sequence of meaningful activities leading to self-expression. Nuanced cultural presentations encompassing the breadth and richness of the Francophone world More than any other program, CHEZ NOUS, SECOND EDITION, leads students to a deeper analysis and understanding of the diverse cultures of France and the French-speaking world. The revised cultural notes (Eclairages) are now accompanied by activities that encourage students to make cross-cultural comparisons or to use the vocabulary and structures they have just learned to explore the cultural content of the lesson. The cultural and thematic presentation of each chapter culminates in Venez chez nous!, an innovative fourth lesson that provides an in-depth and intellectually stimulating look at the chapter theme in the Francophone context. A rich pedagogical apparatus provides students with opportunities to develop further language skills while exploring the cultural topic and making cross-cultural comparisons. Emphasis on authentic materials and tasks The Second Edition includes an even wider variety of authentic texts, such as literary texts and ot
