This publication provides an exciting new approach to beginner level French. The approach is based on the principles of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL). This photocopiable resource book with accompanying CD is designed for primary school pupils but is also suitable for 1st and 2nd year secondary pupils.

Pupils learn meaningful content in Maths, Geography, History, Science, Arts and Physical Education through stimulating activities conducted through French. Each unit provides support for the non-specialist teacher, in the form of lesson plans, suggestions for further activities, beautiful Powerpoint presentations and much more.

For the pupil, learning with “… à la française” is both instructive and fun!

Looking for exam practice materials that use fresh “organic” language food?

Authentik provides you with just that:

• Articles from the recent press, recent radio broadcasts, studio recordings
• Tests that match the requirements of advanced and intermediate level language exams.

Advanced Exam Practice Books
Intermediate Exam Practice Books

They come at two levels: Advanced and Intermediate

Advanced Package

The advanced package, which is absolutely unique in the world, is made up of :

1. the magazine (32 pages), which contains some 90 articles taken without alteration from the recent press of the countries where the language is spoken, selected with a wide variety of tastes in mind – sport, fashion, music, current affairs, cinema …
2. the CD (65 minutes), which contains
   • a selection of original radio broadcasts from the same countries, matching the topics in the magazines, some of them followed by slower readings by native speakers;
   • studio recorded discussions and debates by native speakers on the same topics.
3. the “Magazine Workbook”, which is downloaded from our website, contains:
   • the workbook proper, in Word format allowing users to write directly in it (e.g. to send homework by email),
   • a monolingual and bilingual glossary in Excel format, for every article in the magazine; this can become the user’s personal virtual vocabulary notebook,
   • a full transcript of everything on the CD.

And all of this 4 times a year, to match the four seasons!
