I really like the overall approach, the up-to-date language, and many of the text selections! The layout is clear and appealing to students. I also like how well overall the resources are linked to a theme. They don't feel arbitrarily slapped together as in some other textbooks I've seen. I like how the book trains students to try to get at the meaning of words from the context.

LOVE IT! I first saw this at CTCOLT and after having had to write up my FR IV-AP program for certification and studying what was/is important for the students to know for the AP® exam ... I think it will be my students' bible for self-prep and classroom prep for the AP® exam.

This has a wealth of material and ways of working with it that would appeal to high school students. Vocabulary is much more actively taught in APprenons than in the program I am using currently...and it needs to be! I love the way the grammar is presented, both the structures taught and the way they are integrated with the theme and the task at hand.  The documents included in the 2nd education would be very motivating for high school students. One example is in the technology chapter where students complete a grid charting their own use of technology in preparation for a reading. I like the use of graphs and tables throughout.

 

... a great way to prepare students for the format of the AP® exam. The structure and level of vocabulary aligned with themes will help prepare students. No doubts there!

It practices exactly like the exam, vocabulary and topics are up-to-date, and at the appropriate level of difficulty. Love the variety, quantity and quality of resources.

I was really impressed to see in the "C'est drôle, l'école" chapter the "chosir sa voi de formation" chart, as well as the sample report card, as well as the examples of how American grades correspond roughly to French grades. I have never seen such good realia anywhere else (I've tried to create my own over time, but this was beautifully summarized).
