Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0072560320, Hardcover)

The second edition of Vis-à-vis continues the excitement of the innovative first edition with a fully integrated and revised multimedia package and an exciting Correspondance feature (chapter opening letter, postcard or e-mail, which is answered in the mid-lesson Correspondance cultural spread) presented throughout the text. The overall goal of the revision, which was shaped by the extensive user feedback, remains the same as that of the first edition: to promote a balanced four-skills approach to learning French through a wide variety of listening, speaking, reading, and writing activities, while introducing students to the richness and diversity of the Francophone world.
