PREFACE
| General Preface to the Fifth Edition: The Collage series is intended for use in second-year French programs. The three books of the series—a core grammar textbook, a literary reader, and a cultural reader--share a common grammatical and thematic organization. Across all three components, a given chapter emphasizes the same structures and related lexical items, and has a similar cultural focus. The component structure of the series offers instructors a program with greater coherence and clarity, and with more flexibility and variety, than is possible with a single textbook (whether or not it is supplemented by a reader). The series aims to develop communicative language ability while helping learners strengthen their skills in each of the four traditional areas: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The Collage program is sufficiently flexible to allow the teacher an individual and creative approach in the classroom. Each book in the series can be used alone, however, used together, the three books give students diverse models of language use, ranging from colloquial to literary, and expose students to varying points of view on culture and civilization.
