Using French Vocabulary by Jean H Duffy
This textbook provides a comprehensive and structured vocabulary for all levels of undergraduate French courses, including relevant higher and further education courses. It offers a broad coverage of concrete and abstract vocabulary relating to the physical, cultural, social, commercial and political environment, as well as exposure to commonly encountered technical terminology. Within each section, words and phrases have been grouped into manageable, assimilable units and broadly 'graded' according to likely usefulness and difficulty. The accompanying exercises for private study and classroom use are designed to reinforce the work done on lists, to develop good dictionary use, to encourage independent and collaborative learning, to promote precision and awareness of nuance and register, and to offer the opportunity for the development of cognate transferable skills, such as communicative competence, teamwork and problem-solving. The division of the book into twenty thematic sections allows it to be easily integrated into a modular course structure.Jean Duffy is Professor of French at the University of Edinburgh and General Editor of 'French Studies'. Author of 'Using French Vocabulary' (Cambridge University Press, 1999); 'Signs and Designs: Art and Architecture in the Work of Michel Butor' (Liverpool University Press, 2003).
