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:


Over 50% of the selections in Variétés culturelles are new; they have been carefuly integrated with those from the fourth edition which reviewers and students specifically asked us to retain.

New marginal boxes in Variétés culturelles provide up-to-date facts related to the chapter theme which help students support ideas they present in oral and written discussions of the texts presented.

An Internet feature at the end of each chapter. "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 cultural context of the reading.
