Student Textbook
- The structure of the book allows for easy planning and allows time for assessment and revision
- Each unit is designed as a Unit of Learning to support teachers’ planning in line with the Junior Cycle Specification
- Units and activities build slowly and progressively, becoming more challenging over the three years to ensure learning is built on and knowledge is integrated from earlier units
- Each unit is designed and planned in line with the Modern Foreign Language Learning Outcomes
- Instructions are also in French and English in earlier units to make the book more accessible to students
- Learning intentions (Les Objectifs) are displayed at the beginning of each unit which makes planning convenient for teachers and helps the student focus on what to expect
