"Collage" is one of the most widely used and highly respected programs for intermediate French courses. As in previous editions, "Collage" is a component program and consists of a grammar review "(Collage: Revision de grammaire)," a cultural reader "(Collage: Varietes culturelles," and a literary reader "(Collage: Lectures litteraires)." The program is coordinated by theme and by content, chapter by chapter across all 3 books. The result is a very flexible program that can be used in any combination and can be easily adapted to suit a wide variety of instructors and courses. The new edition of "Collage" retains the flexible format that works so well in the classroom, and offers a host of new features as well as a streamlined grammar presentation. The Fifth edition of "Collage" continues to introduce students to francophone countries and cultures throughout all of the components."
