Workbook/Laboratory Manual for Vis-a-vis

Vis-à-vis engages students with its unique integration of contemporary culture and communicative building blocks, providing tools to establish a solid foundation in introductory French. The hallmarks of Vis-à-vis include a clear chapter structure with four lessons in which vocabulary, grammar, and culture work together as integrated units; an abundance of practice activities that range from form-focused to communicative; a balanced approach to the four skills; and rich and diverse coverage of the Francophone world. The easy-to-use Connect platform provides ample opportunity for practicing receptive listening and reading skills, acquiring vocabulary and grammar, and producing open-ended writing and speaking responses (alone or in groups). The rich video program helps to build cultural as well as linguistic competence.
