Description
- Overview:
- CITOYEN.NE.S is a French language method for the conversation class at the intermediate/ advanced level. Content and activities are built around the concepts of diversity, inclusivity and equity, and engage students to practice French while questioning and participating in the world they live in – to be full citizens whatever their background, their race or their gender identity. As the French spelling of the title indicates, the book embraces écriture inclusive and uses it for instructions and general information for all students.

I am using this is high-quality open-access textbook for an advanced conversation course in French. The level is generally appropriate for my intermediate-high students, and aligns well with most of my learning outcomes. The Instructions and exercises are clearly presented, and the formatting supports readability, such as the blue textboxes with enrichment information. The sequencing of content also supports learners, with simpler topics and exercises at the beginning, and increasing complexity through the chapters. The author has curated engaging topics for young people today. The textbook would be generally easy to use for students. All the links appear to be working. For my class, I won't use every part of the textbook, but because of the design, it is easy to use some modules or sections and skip others. What I plan to supplement is listening activities. This book provides interesting texts and articles, but fewer options for students to practice listening comprehension, which is important for my class. However, there are plenty of free podcasts and videos about related topics that can easily be found online.
