Taches d'encre: French Composition

Using a process-writing approach, Krueger/Fauvel's TACHES D'ENCRE: FRENCH COMPOSITION, 5th edition, is a third-year composition text that helps students master writing skills, gain confidence as writers and discover that writing -- even in a foreign language -- can be a pleasure. Organized in a workbook format, the text is written entirely in French, except the introductory chapter. As they progress through the program, students study multiple genres, practice stylistic analysis and broaden their repertoire of related speech acts, vocabulary and grammatical structures. Each chapter features a French or Francophone model text -- a literary piece or excerpt, journalistic selection or informal writing -- that illustrates the chapter's target genre. In addition, all-new readings and activities promote diversity, while a new testing program makes the course easier to teach online.
