Practical French language acquisition using an action-oriented approach
La francophonie en action is a revolutionary, four-volume textbook series that adopts the action-oriented approach (AOA) to French learning as second or foreign language. With a strong emphasis on francophone and Indigenous Canada and the use of language inclusive of all gender identities, this series features a robust variety of individual, interactive, and collaborative activities that will engage the learner in real-life situations.
As an extension of the textbook series, this companion website for students contains self-checking grammar exercises, video and audio examples, and other activities to provide further practice opportunities.

La Francophonie en action is a very well-crafted, well-laid-out manual using the action-oriented (task-based) approach. This textbook fills a gap at the intermediate level and helps the reader consider second-language learning in new ways. I like the Canadian focus and the use of authentic documents and websites. There is ample group work and oral tasks to complete, and the themes, vocabulary, and tasks presented are relevant to students’ lives and interests. I applaud the authors’ commitment to using inclusive language throughout.

Ce manuel, fortement ancré dans l’approche actionnelle avec des tâches authentiques et collaboratives, se prête à une grande diversité de publics et d’emplois. On apprécie son riche contenu culturel et linguistique francophones y compris une forte présence canadienne avec des éléments autochtones, plurilingues et pluriculturels. Il est certain que les étudiants et les instructeurs apprécieront l’ensemble d’activités exploitant des documents authentiques engageants et puisant dans le vécu des étudiant.e.s. En bref, une œuvre de haute qualité attendue depuis bien longtemps!
