Facon De Parler Activity Book: French for Beginners

This Activity Book complements the tasks in Façon de Parler 1 fourth edition Student Book. Each unit closely mirrors that of the coursebook with exercises following each section chronologically, so that students who have only worked through part of a unit can concentrate on consolidating their knowledge of relevant items.

A variety of exercises, including puzzles and quizzes as well as more conventional activities, has been specially devised to practice the material in the coursebook, both in class and for homework purposes. As with the Coursebook, earlier tasks are more gently paced while the later exercises in the Activity Book have been developed to be more challenging and will be suitable for extended practice or to challenge fast learners. In addition, 'Coin info' sections are included to provide extra cultural information. Units include an FAQ (Foire Aux Questions) which offers a general revision of grammar and vocabulary covered in the unit, and end with a Faites le bilan! summary in French. Façon de Parler 1 Activity Book is a valuable addition to this course for both students and teachers alike.
