Aimed at post-GCSE French classes in further and higher education, this text provides material for both classroom work and individual study. Focusing on the life of a British student in France and on francophone students' impressions of Britain, this course uses both semi-scripted and authentic audio recordings, gradually developing students' strategies for coping with real French. Students work with a variety of materials: dialogues, short lectures, interviews and specially recorded radio programmes. A team of French and British students collaborated on the project to give the material an authentic feel. Each unit provides exercises for building language skills, material for interactive pairwork, tips for developing effective language learning strategies, a grammar focus with follow-up work, vocabulary lists and a self-assessment test.
