"Unique in its magnitude, versatility, and state-of-the-art method. A real breakthrough."--Antoinette Shewmake, French Review "The closest thing to a total immersion in language and culture short of a trip to France. Capretz and his colleagues have set a new standard for foreign language teaching materials."--Roger Neff, Modern Language Journal "[A]n entirely new feature is the journal maintained by the ever-popular character of Marie-Laure. It is exactly this aspect of the third edition that will keep students interested in using French in Action . I also like the fact that the latest edition of French in Action incorporates much more material on the entire Francophone world. [T]he third edition comes complete with concise grammar explanations that support the grammar exercises in addition to thirty pages of conjugaison des verbes types.

"--Eileen M. Angelini, The NECTFL Review "I have been an unconditional proponent of French in Action for 14 years and continue to use it with great success. Why? Because French in Action is the only text that allows French to be taught without using English. The pedagogical sections of the videos--and not the English language--serve as the reference point for the text. Where events have overtaken the movie (i.e., the euro, the Internet, le téléphone portable, etc.), it is easy for a professor to continue to use the videos and all the mise en oeuvre questions with minor updates.
