The Grade 7 Method Presentation
The Grade 7 “Textes et Expression” textbook is part of the “Le Français au Collège” collection.
“Le Français au Collège” constitutes the natural extension of the “Arc-en-ciel” books from previous grades. It therefore builds on, deepens, and expands the methodological principles that have proven effective in primary school.
The “Le Français au Collège” method for Grade 7 provides the following:
- Diverse, illustrated reading texts adapted to students’ psychological and linguistic development. They aim to develop analytical skills and introduce students to expression techniques and figures of speech.
- Images that facilitate comprehension and encourage oral expression.
- Work on writing techniques across different text types, enabling students to write descriptive, informative, and other forms of texts.
- Oral comprehension and expression exercises.
- Cultural enrichment through texts and documents introducing major authors.
- Lessons and activities in language, vocabulary, grammar, and spelling adapted to students’ level, enabling them to learn oral and written French efficiently and to develop their linguistic thinking.
“Le Français au Collège” for Grade 7 includes the following three books: a “Textes et Expression” textbook, an activity workbook, and a grammar workbook.
