Face, University of Minnesota, The Modern Language Journal Learners will gain a solid understanding of the sound system and improve their pronunciation of Spanish from the clarity of the explanations, from the extensive written and oral practice exercises, and from the high-quality audio program that features speakers from across the Spanish-speaking world. Jason Doroga, University of Wisconsin-Madison, eLanguage Sonidos en contexto is a comprehensive, theory-independent description of Spanish phonetics and phonology for intermediate to advanced students. It provides articulatory descriptions of native pronunciations, as well as practical advice on producing native-like sounds and a logical progression of exercises leading to that end. While other available texts stress phonetic theory, this text provides hands-on activities that are entertaining, culturally framed, and relevant to students interests and experiences. The book also includes an instructors manual, as well as engaging, colorful exercises in the text, photos of realia, and a high-quality and very diverse 6-hour audio program.

Includes DVD!
Analyse linguistique de la langue franaise provides a complete examination of the French language, in French, at a level appropriate for non-native speakers and non-linguists. It introduces readers to linguistic analysis, using modern French as its target of study, and covering the linguistic subfields of phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics. It provides self-check questions and could easily be used for self-learning by an individual or by students in a classroom setting.
ADV
Analyse linguistique strives to present all concepts from the bottom up, assuming no prior knowledge of linguistics, and includes a glossary of terms to aid non-linguists. It is these elements that distinguish it from other books in the field, which are often written for native speakers and are sometimes inaccessible to students of the language, or which assume a background in linguistics that not all readers have. In addition, the book includes exercises placed strategically throughout each chapter, which allow the reader to verify his/her comprehension of each concept before moving on to the next topic.

Cultural Discussions for Students of French
Kimberlee Campbell, Harvard University
Something needs to be done about grammar. Katz and Blyth have written this book with the hope of changing the way French instructors teach and conceive of grammar. Intended to help teachers and teacher trainers develop an understanding of French discourse that is grounded in recent theoretical and sociolinguistic research, this book is devoted to informing teachers-in-training, as well as experienced teachers, about cutting-edge methods for teaching grammar. It also describes the grammatical features of the French language in its social context.

This uniquely appealing book is an interdisciplinary introduction to French cultural studies designed for French-language students. The book employs a holistic approach, integrating French with texts and images that might be studied in fine art, anthropology, sociology, or history. As students think across and between these disciplines, they develop not only competence in the language but also an understanding of issues and questions relevant to Francophone society, past and present. chos addresses French cultural identity issues far sooner than most language curricula do, guiding students to think about such topics even during their earliest language classes. Devised to allow for maximum flexibility, the books ten well-planned lessons can be used with a variety of primary textbooks and in any sequence.

Tu sais quoi?!
Cours de conversation en franais
Annabelle Dolidon, Portland State University Norma Lpez-Burton, University of California, Davis
Tu sais quoi?! is a main text for conversational French courses, and it could also be used as a supplement to a second- or third-year French grammar review text. It is a function-based text that helps students practice French for application in real life. It includes current idiomatic expressions and slang, which are not found in most textbooks. It is primarily intended to prepare students to function linguistically and culturally in Frenchspeaking countries where they will study abroad, visit, or work. The book is accompanied by a website with grammar and culture links and audio as well as video files.
The strength of this book lies in its focus teaching French the way it is spoken today. . . . Teachers will appreciate the many conversation activities in each chapter. Students will benefit from rubriques that examine culture, history, literature, music, and film. . . . Tu sais quoi?! is rich in resources for a pre-intermediate to intermediate course in French when supplemented with a grammar book, or a strong stand-alone text in a French conversation course.

to serve as the core textbook in a wide variety of upper-level undergraduate and graduate French cinema courses. In contrast to content-, theme-, or issue-based approaches to film, Professor Berg stresses the cinematically specific, the warp and fabric of the film itself, the stuff of which it is made. Sufficient proficiency in French is the sole prerequisite: No previous background in film studies is assumed, nor is any prior acquaintance with French cinema. It will help, of course, to like movies, and to have seen quite a few (from the preface). R.-J. Berg is the author of widely used textbooks on literature (Littrature franaise: textes et contextes, vols. I and II) and business French (Parlons affaires!

The Lady in the Painting is the only full-length story written in Chinese for lowintermediate level learners of Chinese as a foreign language. The story is told with vocabulary and structures familiar to students who have completed a basic course in Chinese. Using an inventory of only about 300 Chinese characters, it serves as an excellent transition between the short reading passages that students encounter in a basic level Chinese course and the longer and more demanding passages in subsequent levels. The original edition of the story has been widely used for decades as a supplementary reader in Chinese language classes in the United States. This expanded versionwhich includes an interactive CD-ROMmakes the story more accessible to learners in a number of ways. The book is available in simplified characters as well as traditional characters.
