Overall, this is an excellent textbook - outsanding even...This can be the best introductory French textbook by far to date. I was extremely impressed with the comprehensive nature of the book and the detail. The authors truly did a remarkable job in creating this textbook. Chapeau! Caroline Nash, Lousiana State University The program works extremely well at my university. It has produced a high level of linguistic competency within the context of the first year of instruction in all four skills areas. In addition, it works very well with the global interests of many of our students. The book is also easy to teach from and works well with a variety of approaches. Jean Marie Schultz, University of California at Santa Barbara Chez nous is one of the few books on the market that has given grammar the attention it deserves. The authors are clearly aware of the issues involving grammar pedagogy, and they have admirably integrated findings from the field of applied linguistics into the development of their grammar explanations and activities. I appreciate the fact that, usually, the activities are not mechanical drills; instead, they are developed in a way that attempts to mirror naturally occurring discourse. Stacey Katz, University of Utah


Author Information

He started his career at the Foreign Service Institute of the U.S. Department of State and at the Pennsylvania State University before joining Indiana University, where he is Rudy Professor of French/Italian and Linguistics emeritus, director of the Creole Institute and editor of Studies in Second Language Acquisition. At Indiana University, he directed the program of elementary and intermediate French, including the mentoring of graduate student instructors and coordinators. A constant in his career has been his interest in developing more effective approaches to the teaching of foreign languages, the training of teachers, and the preparation of pedagogical materials. Valdman held the posts of president of the AATF and of the International Association of Applied Linguistics. For his commitment to the teaching of French language and culture and his pioneering work in the description of French in the United States, he was named Commandeur dans l'Ordre des Palmes Academiques of France, member of l'Ordre des Francophones d'Amerique of the government of Quebec province, and awarded the Medaille d'Or du merite francophone by Renaissance francaise. His work in Haitian Studies and creole linguistics was recognized by Life Time Achievement Awards from the Haitian Studies Association and the Society for Pidgin and Creole Linguistics.

Pons completed her doctorate in French linguistics at Indiana University where, as an Assistant Professor, she directed the elementary French program and the MA in French instruction. Teaching at the University of North Carolina at Asheville since 1995, Pons is Professor in the Department of Foreign Languages. In addition to teaching courses in French language, culture, and linguistics, Pons teaches K-12 methods courses for licensure candidates in Chinese, French, German, Latin, and Spanish. She is past president of the Foreign Language Association of North Carolina and has received numerous grants in support of study abroad programs for students and faculty.
