Review:

"The text allows them [the students] to review the material they were taught and develops the higher level language skills required for college French. It does so while exposing them to serious cultural and literary materials."

"This is just the sort of transitional product that is so under-represented in French textbook materials. The division of the "program" into two manuals is extremely sound, addressing the Manuel de preparation to the student. This makes it that much clearer where the personal responsibility and independent duties of the student lie: an aspect that cannot be overemphasized in a program that requires independent and complementary work on the part of the student."

"We have used the first and second edition of Quant a moi because the pedagogical and conceptual approach of this program was the best so far."

"We find its approach exciting; the variety is attractive and we like the grammar sections and the mini-contre'les."

"The cultural aspect is excellent. It helps students see that French is not just limited to France and Quebec. Moreover, the textbook sensitizes students to cultural issues that are very important to our global world."
