Retrieve Deux Mondes: A Communicative Approach [with Listening Comprehension Audio CD] Prepared By Tracy D. Terrell Presented As File
swear
this is really a great book if u want to learn french through selfstudy, . .
yeah
Quite an expensive investment for FRENCHat the University of Auckland, However, most definitely worth the purchase price if you are taking language papers at the university level, Not recommended for ad hoc linguists as there are cheaper and simpler tools on the market,
By itself, the textbook is not entirely useful, In combination with the accompanying software, the textbook is a powerful language learning system, The reality is that the price point pays for extremely userfriendly and intuitive software, with the textbook best used as a classroom aide to modules and assignments completed with the software.
Pros:
The software is intuitive and immerses users within the language without a punishing level of difficulty by working on speaking, listening, writing and reading.
The textbook complements the software by acting as a revision and study tool in classroom environments where using a computer may not be appropriate.
Cons:
The textbook standalone is not very useful and must be used in combination with the software,
The structure of the textbook risks creating information overload for absolute beginners, but this is not a problem if a student is taking a university paper where the professor provides a basic introduction.
The price point is quite high in comparison to market competitors such as DuoLingo and Rosetta Stone, which forgo the physical textbook in favour of an entirely software based system.
Rating:/. I received a final score of,in the French class, so, . . merci. beurk. c'est un texte communicatif de base, je suppose, mais il n'y a pas de lexique anglaisfrançais/françaisanglais à la fin qui aiderait les étudiants débutants.
content peuton communiquer et comprendre au début sans aide de lexique en plus, il faut feuilleter, feuilleter, et refeuilleter le texte à retrouver les explications de grammaire, etc, ce qui devraient être facilement indiqué.
il n'y a pas de références de pages, en plus en plus, le nouveau vocabulaire présenté parfois DANS les activités sans lexique fran/ang ni aucun usage textuel auparavant ne sert les étudiants à pas beaucoup.
à mon avis, les activités devraient solidifier la compréhension d'étudiant, pas les confondre, . . surtout un texte pour les débutants du premier semestre, aïe.
j'ai enseignésemestres avec ce texte et, ça, c'était TROP! j'ai changé le texte dès que possible carsemestres ont failli me tuer.
"Deux mondes" is widely regarded as the most communicative text available for beginning French courses, Based on the Natural Approach, developed by Tracy Terrell and Stephen Krashen, "Deux mondes, Fourth Edition" offers beginning language students a way to develop language proficiency, especially in listening and speaking, that allows students to participate in real conversations at a very early stage.
The Natural Approach in general, and "Deux mondes, Fourth Edition"" in particular," present material inductively so that the activities drive the grammar and in the context of culturally rich themes and topics.
This text clearly sets itself apart
from the competition: with "Deux mondes," students quickly become excited with their rapid growth in comprehension and vocabulary acquisition, and enjoy speaking in the nonthreatening environment made possible by the activity formats.
