Collage is one of the most widely used and highly respected programs for intermediate French courses. As in previous editions, Collage is a component program and consists of a grammar review (Collage: Révision de grammaire), a cultural reader(Collage: Variétés culturelles), and a literary reader (Collage: Lectures littéraires). The program is coordinated by theme and by content, chapter by chapter across all 3 books.

The result is a very flexible program that can be used in any combination and can be easily adapted to suit a wide variety of instructors and courses. The new edition of Collage retains the flexible format that works so well in the classroom, and offers a host of new features as well as a streamlined grammar presentation. The Fifth edition of Collage continues to introduce students to francophone countries and cultures throughout all of the components.

Features:


2 new chapter themes.

5 new reading selections, including more poetry, as requested by reviewers. Among the new authors are Guillaume Apollinaire, Victor Hugo, Alexandre Dumas (père) (excerpt from L'homme au Masque de fer / Man in the Iron Mask) and Jean Tardieu.

Sidebars, "Rappel" (Reminder), remind students of literary terms and definitions which they might need to answer questions about the readings.

An Internet feature at the end of each reading. "Le français au bout des doigts" (French at your fingertips) guides students to the McGraw-Hill website, where they will find questions and exercises concerning the reading, the author, or cultural context of the reading. These are accompanied by links to sites from the website at McGraw-Hill Higher Education.
