Voil is an attractive, appealing, complete course in French. Designed primarily for adults who want to learn the language on their own, it also makes a fine teaching supplement for classroom use,... This description may be from another edition of this product.
It is a very good method indeed, but students have problems with two particularities of the book. First, the grammar is not very clearly shown. It would probably pay off to use more space in order to introduce more tables, more examples, etc. Second, the vocabulary list should contain the page or chapter where the words were used for the first time; it is then easier to find back the context, and for teachers it is easier to make their tests! In addition, it seems that the vocabulary list at the end of the book does not contain all the words that are mentioned under "Expressions utiles" in the chapters, and as they are very important expressions, they should definitely be listed as well. Over all, students seem to like the method and the quantity of pictures and exercises. I feel that the "Faites le point" exercises are very useful. There may even be more (practical) exercises; although it is a conversation method, students always like to have their written skills confirmed by a lot of exercises.
Very instructional
