Collage: Revision de Grammaire

This edition consists of three volumes - a review grammar, a cultural reader and a literary reader - that are co-ordinated by theme and by language, chapter by chapter, across all three books. The organization means that the topics, the language and the structures covered in, for example, Chapter Three of the review grammar are the same as those covered in Chapter Three of either the cultural or literary reader. This format allows instructors to use any of the texts by themselves or in conjunction with one another. The practice material in the "Collage" programme progresses systematically within each grammar point. Students first complete very focused and controlled exercises to establish their understanding of a grammar structure, then they proceed to open, communicative activities where they can practise using the structure in a more conversational context. In order to give intermediate students maximum exposure to French language, all of the "Collage" programme, with the exception of the vocabulary lists, is completely in French. In "Revision de Grammaire", 4th edition, the presentation of grammar has been streamlined.
The material that is essential for second-year students has all been retained, but is covered in less detail than in previous editions. The new design includes improved charts and tables and new graphic elements designed to make the information more accessible. In addition, new grammar summaries in the margins of the text provide a quick and convenient review and reference features for students.
