A Vos Marques! : Accelerated French Course for False Beginners

"A Vos Marques!" is an introductory course for students taking French as an option alongside their main degree course. It has been developed specifically for students who have a slight acquaintance with the language. The course comprises a student's book, teacher's book and three 60-minute audio cassettes and, through 15 chapters, follows the progress of an English-speaking student studying in Paris, whose achievements are designed to reflect those of the course user. Special features include:
* activities involving pair and group work
* an aid to self-assessment at the end of each chapter
* hints on vocabulary learning
* clear and accessible layout including integrated cartoons.
The guidance offered by the teachers' book is particular useful for devising the course syllabus and lesson plans.
