Reviews 199 teacher may want to modify the details of a number of activities in the textbook and workbook to keep the content relevant to her class. Narrowing our focus to this content, and to the interpersonal level of Saison 3, the S’exprimer and Atelier créatif sections of each unit ensure interaction among learners. While the activity scenarios seem at times overly fanciful for a textbook targeting adults and real life language use, teachers will nonetheless appreciate the systematic capping of grammar expositions with the chance to practice and produce new structures in different communicative contexts. Finally, the (intra-)personal level deals with how learners are led to understand and engage with new material.On this micro-level especially,Saison 3 is compelling. All units begin with a full six pages with at least one aural, visual, or written text on each page inviting learners to reflect on a single theme under multiple lenses. Learner motivation is triggered by the varied contexts and contemporariness of the texts, while the flood of input is sure to contain at least some jewels each individual learner will take pleasure in uncovering. Provocative and rich, the unit themes themselves (“Décrypter ses identités,”“Vivre une révolution”) are welcome reprieves from topics guiding more traditional American foreign language textbooks (“La maison et la ville,” “L’école,” and so on). All in all, I encourage teachers to explore Saison 3 for compelling source material paired with explicit, contextualized presentations of language structures and lexicon that may complement existing curriculum, if not serve as primary text. Middlebury Institute of International Studies (CA) Clarissa C. Eagle Crépieux, Gaël, Lucie Mensdorff-Pouilly, et Caroline Sperandio. Vocabulaire essentiel du français. Paris: Didier, 2016. ISBN 978-2-278-08340-4. Pp. 252. This volume is part of the updated texts in the 100% FLE series written mostly for the A1/A2 learner. The content of the book is much like what the title suggests, as thirteen units cover common vocabulary themes that students need at this level to interact and communicate appropriately with French speakers. The volume begins with lessons on identity by introducing activities of diverse nature that integrate realia like examples of identity cards and applications for long stay visas. Other topics such as health, education, work, housing, dining, and the environment are presented as thematic units and provide a variety of activities such as puzzles, matching, and riddles. At the end of each section, there are prompts to promote skits and pair activities. The exercises provided in the volume make for excellent preparation before coming to class. The answers to the activities are published in one of the appendices as well as the answers to the bilan activities for each few chapters.As such, students can complete the exercises, check their work, and come to class prepared having done some autonomous learning. This work provides students with a solid base on which to build for activities that go beyond mechanical exercises to allow for practice in the classroom, making class time more productive for communicative learning. It would be easy to expand on the activities in the volume and have students produce dialogues and conversations that will give them practice for situations they are likely to encounter. The volume concludes with a section that presents contrastive vocabulary working from English and Spanish to the French equivalents. Appendices containing the answers to all the activities proposed in the volume as well as a list of the vocabulary for each chapter listed in French, English, Spanish, German, and Italian round out the volume. This makes the work text universally accessible and appealing to a wider audience. This book is part of a series by Didier that includes grammar, phonetics, vocabulary, and communication volumes. They are, for the most part, geared toward the A1/A2 level; but the grammar texts count two volumes that expand to the B1 learner. Combining the vocabulary text at the appropriate level with its complement from the grammar texts could work well to complete a program allowing for work on structures and the vocabulary to build them relative to daily tasks. Another option would be to pair the vocabulary...
