 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.

Organization of the Book

• Previewing: Introduces vocabulary and main themes of the film as well as a presentation of several of grammar structures which establish the base vocabulary and grammar concepts of the workbook. The Professor’s Manual includes Aller plus loin questions for further discussion of the film.

• Postviewing: Tests the students’ comprehension of the film while reinforcing the vocabulary and grammar structures presented in the previewing activities. Includes a reading sample developed for language students, the study of stills and word games. The Professor’s Manual includes Aller plus loin questions for further discussion of the film.
