"I like the topics; they are high frequency and interesting for most students. The grammar topics are well sequenced and coordinate well with the themes overall. The new Reflechissez et considerez sections are a welcome addition! Students are better able to grasp the material (grammar structure) when they can see patterns. I really like the green pages, and I get very good feedback from my students. They find them clear, concise, not overloaded with too much detail or information. The examples that show how the structures are used are generally good. Most outstanding [is the] emphasis on communicative aspect of language, with useful accompanying in-class activities. Also, very accessible, well-organized easy to find and follow grammar structures!"  Be the first to write a customer review
