Description
A thoughtfully crafted French textbook, Finalement uses a distinct, functional approach for advanced language instruction, blending grammar, conversation, and composition into an integrated learning experience with clear learning objectives.
Designed for two semesters, it can be tailored to the needs of programs that allot one semester or two quarters to their upper-level language course(s). The first part focuses on narration and description in all time frames in speaking and writing; the second part aims to lead students to partial control of superior functions, with a focus on developing opinions and hypotheses on a variety of current issues.
Thought-provoking readings from a diversity of French and Francophone authors serve as springboards for the discovery of all necessary language features. Students will develop critical thinking skills as they infer how the language works and acquire strategies to use the language effectively in oral and written practice.
Compared to other resources on the market, Finalement is unique in its approach to functional proficiency development and higher-order learning. Speaking and writing activities are systematically spiraled from simple to complex, from concrete to abstract, and from connected to extended discourse. An answer key is provided, so that structured activities can be assigned as homework and class time reserved for meaningful communicative practice and strategy development.
Intended Level: Advanced

<< Finalement, un manuel concu pour developper la competence orale et ecrite des etudiants du niveau intermediaire au niveau avance par une approche fonctionnelle. Les auteurs ont meticuleusement cree une grande variete d'activites orales et ecrites basees sur des extraits de textes venant de divers pays et regions de la Francophonie. Ce manuel fournit aux etudiants maintes occasions d'explorer des questions d'actualite tout en mettant l'accent sur le type de discours et la precision. Grace a cette demarche integree, les etudiants s'engagent dans une experience d'apprentissage stimulante et efficace. >>-Atiyeh Showrai, Directrice, Programme de Langue francaise, Departement de francais et d'italien, Universite de Californie du Sud
<< Une approche fonctionnelle pour enseigner le francais au niveau avance, une methode inductive qui favorise un apprentissage efficace et stimulant, une technique de progression en spirale pour ameliorer la formation grammaticale autonome... finalement, nous y sommes ! Cet ouvrage propose une compilation d'activites ecrites et orales motivantes, harmonisees a des objectifs d'apprentissage clairs, pour guider les apprenantes et les apprenants vers des niveaux de reflexion toujours plus complexes, selon la taxonomie de Bloom. Il met aussi en valeur un contenu francophone riche pour promouvoir un apprentissage authentique. Enfin, les textes nourrissent des discussions constructives pour combler le fosse entre la salle de classe et la vraie vie. >>
