Allez! Foundations in Beginning French uses a simple, innovative, and completely interactive method to teach elementary French. The goal is for students to become comfortable speaking and understanding the target language through a personal, highly engaged learning experience. Based on the premise that students learn a language best through direct communication with others, the book steers students away from audio recordings, videos, and online learning. Instead, it provides numerous opportunities for students to converse with each other through a variety of activities, such as dialogues, stories, cultural readings, tongue-twisters, word games, and famous quotes. Each chapter features Les Conversations Françaises, a series of student-directed, easy-to-evaluate, in-class skits that encourage students to have fun and experiment with the language without feeling intimidated by the need to be grammatically perfect. The second edition includes new content and improved pacing throughout, based on extensive class testing. More cultural material helps acquaint students with the French language as encountered in French-speaking countries other than France, and a completely refreshed layout highlights updated, enhanced images as well as a reorganization of content and topics. Allez! provides students with the information and practice they need to successfully master written and spoken beginning French. The text is ideal for introductory French classes at the community college or undergraduate level.

Je parle francais... un peu: Foundations in Beginning French teaches beginning French in a simple, clear, effective way. Many language textbooks focus solely on grammar, and are exclusively academic in focus. This engaging, interactive textbook makes students comfortable speaking and interacting in the target language, and puts them in charge of their own learning. Based on the premise that students best learn a language by using it to communicate with others rather than relying on technology, Je parle francais... un peu purposely steers students away from CDs, DVDs, and frenetic on-line learning. Instead, the book provides numerous opportunities for students to speak and converse with each other through a variety of activities, such as dialogues, stories, cultural readings, tongue-twisters, word games, and famous quotes. Also included are les Conversations fran�aises, which are in-class skits that encourage students to have fun and experiment with the language without feeling intimidated by the need to be grammatically perfect. The book is concise, containing only the amount of material that can be covered in a one-semester course. Tear-out worksheets are built into the text, which are perfect for homework assignments or additional practice, thus making it unnecessary to buy a supplemental workbook for the course. The tone of the book is un-intimidating, and conversational. The ten chapters of the book teach the language through high-interest topics including college life and personal technology. Extensively class-tested, the material in Je parle francais... un peu gives students what they need to successfully master written and spoken French at the beginning level. Je parle francais... un peu is written for French 1 and 2 at the community college or lower division university level. It can also be used in Beginning French at the high school level.

"Beginner's French 1" is a comprehensive workbook designed specifically for young learners who are taking French for enrichment purposes, at a pace of approximately one lesson a week for ten weeks. This book is the first of a three-part series that aims to facilitate students' acquisition of the language under the supervision of an instructor. If used in tandem with other resources, the book will enable them to have basic conversations about familiar topics and reach the cusp of A1/A2 proficiency in accordance with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. The author, a French teacher, has personal experience in learning French and believes that foreign language learning can open doors to many opportunities. The book includes ten lessons that are each designed for one hour of instruction. At the end of the book, students will be able to introduce themselves, ask basic questions, and express their likes and dislikes. The book is meant to be written in, and each student should receive their own personal copy to take home. Instructors are advised to use this book in conjunction with other resources, including videos, audio, supplementary documents, etc. The material in each lesson is enough for one hour each week, but if your club or class meets more often, you could complete the book much faster. Overall, "Beginner's French 1" is an affordably-priced, accessible, and engaging workbook that provides a foundation for young learners to begin their French language learning journey. With hard work and dedication, students who complete this series in conjunction with Intermediate French and Advanced French will ideally reach the cusp of B1/B2 proficiency after three years.
