Description
APprenons, 2nd Edition, seeks to guide your students to a Pre-Advanced level of proficiency while preparing them for the revised AP® French Language and Culture Exam.
Written by and for native speakers of French, the authentic texts in APprenons allow students to engage meaningfully with over 30 francophone cultures.
Let your students compare a blog post to a poem of Charles Baudelaire, write a persuasive essay about franglais, or learn how to handle a car accident in France.
Ten chapters integrate the themes and contexts outlined by the College Board’s French Language and Culture Curriculum Framework, presenting material as the exam does.

What People Are Saying
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 APrenons 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).
