French in Action

The two Workbooks, one for each 26-lesson part, are the students' chief resource and handbook for analysis of the French language and culture that they first encounter in the videos. Each workbook lesson is coordinated with the audio program and reinforces the oral comprehension using images drawn from the video program. New grammatical material is introduced in clear reference tables and immediately put to work in the oral, aural, and written exercises. The workbooks also contain additional materials for skits, dictées, and writing assignments, as well as review exercises for self-testing. Learning activities in the second edition of the workbooks have been reorganized for greater effectiveness and ease of use. A redesigned and enlarged workbook index that includes a new series of verb charts has also been provided.
