En bons termes is a first-year French program that aims to develop a basic proficiency in the four language skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) while fostering an awareness of the French presence in North America. It is designed to encourage and enable students to communicate in French not as a “foreign” language but as an alternative mode of expression.
The ninth edition features nine new and current readings, updated vocabulary throughout the text to reflect modern word usage, and the new Les reformes orthographe appendix"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
“ I would definitely adopt it [the text] as I feel that time was taken to evaluate and prioritize certain wording, examples, readings to be analyzed. All of the changes I looked through were thoughtful and added depth and breadth to En bons termes and language instruction.”
--Lisa Mastellotto, St. Clair College
“Excellent [reading] questions with a variety of general questions for comprehension and open-ended questions for understanding .”
-- Bernadette Morin-Strom, Nipissing University
“ I like how the article talks about specific locations with a demand for French-speaking professional and talks of the industries as well.... Yes I think the questions are appropriate and important. Often students spend a lot of time focusing on pronunciation and getting through the reading. I think that these comprehension questions allow for textual analysis and essentially keep readers on their toes in terms of understanding what they are reading.”
--Lisa Mastellotto, St. Clair College
“Excerpt is well written [ Ch. 13, Sainte famille, Anne Marie Lecomte (extrait de roman)] ; narrative is intriguing and interesting. I think students would be motivated to read more.... I like this reading because it is a literary text that is inviting and intriguing. Often students are reticent when it comes to “literature;” I think that such a reading could help them be more open.”

“The exercises écrits are probably the strongest pedagogical tool in these chapters, I found them very good in terms of covering all the material of the chapter without being excessively long.”
