Festival 2 - Livre de l'élève

Designed to cover around 80 hours of teaching (100h with the workbook), Festival is suitable for extensive, semi-intensive or intensive courses.

The objectives of the method follow the recommendations of the Common European Framework of Reference :

• go to the essentials , so as to very quickly appropriate the basic structures and the essential lexicon of French, and therefore to be able very quickly to get by in everyday situations.
• develop the four skills , while focusing on oral nonetheless. Festival prepares students for the new DELF A1 / A2 tests (level A1 is covered by the first 4 of the 6 units of the manual).
• make the learner a full player in communication : "know-how" and "interpersonal skills"
• promote their autonomy , thanks to grammatical explanations, repeated and in-depth in the precise, the lexicon in five languages ​​(French, English, Chinese, Japanese and Arabic), and the Self-correcting exercise book

The approach in Festival offers:

• a slow progression , with less than thirty new words in each lesson and carefully balanced grammar elements.
• a systematic resumption of new contributions in later lessons.
• simple explanations , with little metalanguage, lots of examples and exercises.

The manual is organized in:

• 6 units each with a communication "macro-lens".
• 24 lessons (4 per unit) of 4 pages each + one lesson 0.
• 6 summary reports.
• The headings of each lesson: "trigger dialogue", "phonetics", "lexicon", "listen, read, understand", "grammar and vocabulary", "personal oral and written expression", "Civilization".
