This textbook is a rich and valuable resource for more advanced French learners. It would fit Intermediate Mid to high proficiency targets. The textbook is divided into units, and each unit a specific foucs, always aligned with AP themes and subthemes. Within each unit, you will find a few sections, that progressively teaches important vocabulary and grammar concepts that are relevant to the theme and that build on students' proficiency. Each skill relevant to world language proficiency is developed - reading and listening comprehension, writing and speaking. Each unit also focuses on a different part of the French speaking world, thus giving students opportunities to expand their cultural knowledge and understanding of other parts of the world. The book is built on the concept of meeting French speakers from around the globe through vlogs. These speakers are usually teenagers, and offer different accents. At the end of each section within a unit, there are formative assessments, and one complete summative assessment at the end of each unit. These complete assessments will evaluate students' reading and listening comprehension and writing, and speaking skills. There are also some authentic resources throughout the book, although we would have prefered to see more of them. We liked that the scope and sequence was reasonable. Also, the vocabulary is based on high frequency words. As opposed to a lot of textbooks that are too ambitious and wide, this focused on being appropriate for the actual goals of learning a language and focusing on more important words and concepts. Each chapter had difference sections based on what you wanted to focus on, with the possibility to choose from a few activities, the ability to choose/adapt a lot of these activities to your students needs. The textbook gives some scaffolding ideas on each page. It also gives the teacher the ability to adapt their testing, for example, one could choose if accents would be important or not when grading. Videos are also adaptable with the option to use closed captioning but also change the speed. The textbook also showcases speakers from multiple different countries in videos, lots of different accents which helps listening comprehensive, lots of cultural aspects, which are all elements teachers/students want to work on in order to eventually prepare for the AP exam. The online platform isn't the best and could be improved, especially for this level as it became difficult to find the videos. The publisher could work on making the platform more user friendly. One suggestion would be to be able to click on the textbook and immediately accesss materials, and to make summative assessments also easier to access. Another plus of this textbook is that it aligns with ACTFL proficiency guidelines, provides rubrics, graphic organizers, videos to teach reading strategies, etc. It is also communication focused and increases students' exposure to authentic materials (compared to previous levels). From an AP pathway perspective, this would be a great pre-AP book- AP themes are combined throughout all 4 books, and has a great progression while still enabling to make some resources easier or harder (closed captioning, speed adjustment available for videos, possibility to print out the script as well), and also requires students to complete activities that are aligned with AP exam requirements, more particulalry multiple choice questions, email responses, and cultural comparisons. We would expect, however, an appropriate AP book to have more advanced level material, more authentic resources, rubrics aligned with AP standards and to showcase all typical AP exam tasks more consistently.
