Intrigue: langue, culture et mystère dans le monde francophone

by Elizabeth Blood, Yasmina Mobarek Ph.D.

Intrigue is a comprehensive and flexible intermediate-level French textbook that develops the four basic communicative reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Its proficiency-oriented methodology focuses on communication, linguistic functions, and interactive exchanges. This innovative mystery-story textbook arouses student curiosity and encourages students to participate actively in understanding the story and related authentic documents, to discuss the content of chapter readings, to write about their opinions and reactions, and even to complete grammar review activities—all of which advance the plot and offer clues to solving the mystery. By offering continuity between readings, student listening recordings, classroom activities, and homework exercises, Intrigue draws students into using the French language in meaningful situations and into learning about the cultures of the French-speaking world.

[Peter · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is my Text-Book for my 4th semester French class.
Not extremely exciting, but it does have a storyline that follows a "perspicacious" and naive graduate student from Montreal and a creepy Parisian man as they search for a lost text from the hand of Choderlos de Laclos, the author of Les Liaisons dangereuses.

The explanatory grammar sections are often not very extensive or lack sufficient examples. The exercises are just repeats from chapter to chapter incorporating new grammar or vocabulary.

[Kristi Krumnow · Rating 4 out of 5]

un bon texte pour les deuxièmes années à cause du fil narratif de deux personnages qui sont à la recherche d'un manuscrit perdu, vendu, retrouvé, examiné, et perdu de nouveau. Ce genre d'histoire mouvementée permet aux étudiants de visiter les pays francophones ainsi que les points grammaticaux en même temps.
