Description
Cinéphile,
Etude de films en français élémentaire is a series of workbooks specifically developed for
French language students. The series facilitates the integration of films in
language courses while reinforcing basic vocabulary and grammar structures. By
targeting the four communicative goals; listening, speaking, reading and
writing, it serves as an excellent tool for language learners.
Each workbook in the series features
a single film and develops the students’ linguistic competencies through
progressive acquisition of vocabulary and grammar structures. The
contextualized activities are organized in increasing levels of difficulty,
beginning with highly structured activities and progressing to open-ended
communication. The wide range and variety of activities provide great
flexibility and can be easily tailored to the needs of the students. Each
workbook is thus a comprehensive guide which serves as an indispensable tool
for language comprehension and communication.
