Building on the Tricolore series, this French language course combines familiar material and learning styles with a structured approach to the National Curriculum. It is compatible with Tricolore, and is intended to prepare students fully for GCSE and National Curriculum Stage 4 tests and Standard Grade. This student's book combines a communicative approach with a clear structural and grammatical progression. The activities and exercises, including dictionary work and language awareness items, build up skills of individual and group work. Each unit starts with learning objectives and concludes with a summary section.
