Overview

Les Outils pour l'écrire is a composition textbook designed to provide students with a structured introduction to writing in French. Students are challenged to produce a variety of written texts in French to foster their acquisition of vocabulary, sentence structure, and overall fluency. Each chapter focuses on a particular type of written text. Students have the opportunity to craft character portraits, resumes, job applications, dissertations, and essays in French. They learn how to tell stories and write literature reviews confidently and effectively. Les Outils pour l'écrire is designed to be used in association with the French grammar textbook, La Grammaire pour le dire. With these two complementary resources, instructors will be well-equipped to teach French grammar review and French composition, either concurrently or sequentially. Les Outils pour l'écrire is an ideal resource for undergraduate courses in French and Francophone studies, as well as higher-level courses that provide both a grammar review and an introduction to writing texts in French.
