Publisher's Synopsis
"Route Nationale" is a differentiated and integrated approach to teaching and learning French for National Curriculum Key Stages 3 and 4 and the Standard Grade examinations. It provides authentic materials and a wide choice of valid activities whilst understanding the students' needs for a sense of enjoyment and motivation. Students are encouraged to take an active part in their learning and to develop their ability to work collaboratively, as well as independently.;The teacher is supported with detailed notes, a wealth of ideas, solutions to activities, guidance on maximizing the use of the target language and a comprehensive range of integrated material.;Key factors which make the series different: provides a stimulating language-learning experience for students of all ability levels; develops students' ability to use French effectively for the purpose of practical communication, both within and outside the classroom; develops knowledge, understanding and a positive attitude towards speakers of French throughout the world; establishes an awareness of the language-learning process and thereby facilitates the learning of other languages; promotes a range of learning styles from collaborative work with peers to independent learning; raises awareness of gender issues; contributes to the general education of learners; and makes a useful contribution to other areas of the curriculum, especially IT, the humanities, health education, personal and social education.;"Route Nationale" stage 4 completes the course to GCSE/National Curriculum Key Stage 4 and the Standard Grade examination. It provides continuity and progression from stages 1, 2 and 3. Alternatively, stage 4 can be used as a self-contained course for Key Stage 4, providing full coverage of the areas of experience and the programmes of study. The core material ranges from Levels of Attainment 1-5, with the differentiated material providing a wealth of opportunities up to and including Level 10.;This teacher's resource file contains suggestions for differentiated approaches to the majority of the core material, allowing for greater flexibility of approach. This includes a variety of support for helping students to handle longer texts, and copymasters providing reading material from the students' books in alternative formats. Stage 3 of the series continues to provide core material for all students, plus a wealth of extension material at three levels of difficulty.
