Editorial Reviews

“Overall, this is an excellent textbook — outstanding even… this can be the best introductory French textbook by far to date. I was extremely impressed with the comprehensive nature of the book and the detail. The authors truly did a remarkable job in creating this textbook. Chapeau !”

~ Caroline Nash, Louisiana State University

"The program works extremely well at my university. It has produced a high level of linguistic competency within the context of the first year of instruction in all four skills areas. In addition, it works very well with the global interests of many of our students. The book is also easy to teach from and works well with a variety of approaches. "

~ Jean Marie Schultz, University of California at Santa Barbara

"Chez nous is one of the few books on the market that has given grammar the attention it deserves. The authors are clearly aware of the issues involving grammar pedagogy, and they have admirably integrated findings from the field of applied linguistics into the development of their grammar explanations and activities. I appreciate the fact that, usually, the activities are not mechanical drills; instead, they are developed in a way that attempts to mirror naturally occurring discourse.”

~ Stacey Katz, University of Utah
