- structured around the SQA contexts and developing the four core skills throughout
- lesson-based spreads with a differentiated approach: three levels of difficulty included throughout
- comprehensive coverage of the latest National 5 French syllabus
- key lists of vocabulary at the end of each topic
- magazine content at the end of each context to develop cultural awareness and reading skills
- revision sections focussing on particular key skills with exam-style tasks
- grammar exercises throughout and a reference section at the end of the book
Teaching and Learning resources (subscription of c.£150 per year)
- 250 pages of planning notes
- 80 mp3 listening files, plus audio transcripts
- scheme of work
- 40 pages of end-of-section tests
- 80 pages of sample answers with teacher commentary
- 80 pages of vocabulary lists
