short, two page units show students exactly what is required of them and make lesson planning easy. enjoyable, stepped activities build students' confidence and understanding and enable you to control and pace the level of their work. self-access reading and writing activities allow students to work independently. simple grammar explanations and lots of opportunties for grammar practice throughout the course, help you to provide an integrated approach to teaching the language. Grammar boxes point to more detailed explanations in the reference section. straight-forward instructions in French, with appropriate support in English in the early modules, encourage students to work in the target language from the beginning. mini-tests are provided halfway through each module to check students' progress. End of module revision tests and 'I can do' checklists provide further support for assessment within the Textbook.
