About this title

From the Back Cover:

En bonne forme 8/e

En bonne forme is a fully integrated Intermediate French program, based on the conviction that a solid knowledge of French grammar is essential for solid acquisition of the language. Although the core of each chapter is the grammar section, students are given ample opportunity throughout to improve all four skills--reading, writing, listening, and speaking. All of the grammar explanations and exercise directions are given in French to encourage greater acquisition of the language. Reading selections, carefully chosen to illustrate the grammar structures presented in each chapter, are immediately reinforced with exercises.
