What do teachers say about this resource? (12130)
I thought it was a well-researched and well-written resource that will augment French B teaching. The vocabulary lists and specimen answers are ambitious but accessible. The main educational value of this resource is the expansion of students’ global cultural horizons and complex linguistic knowledge that is built up through the various activities in this resource. The resource delivers confidence in French in transactional tasks and strengthen students’ abilities to justify their opinions and consider both sides of an argument.
