After many, many years of using the Allons-y textbook, the French Department has adopted a new textbook for Spring for French 1 and 1A: Horizons, 5th ed. New here is an e-book and online support feature called
iLrn. (scroll down to textbooks to access this link). Students who purchase the book new through the CCSF bookstore will receive a book key for registration.
Click here for a short tutorial on the registration process. You will also need a course code, which your instructor will provide you. The Language Center also has a list of these course codes.
What's included on the iLrn site? Here's a brief rundown:
- e-book (complete text along with options for highlighting, sticky notes, in-text audio, vocabulary + audio and lots more)
- activities (including listening comprehension with recording function)
- self-tests (pre- and post-tests which include assessments for study areas, with targeted text and activities manual referrals)
- video library (video for each chapter with pre- and post-viewing activities)
- practice (including Heinle grammar tutorials which cover a range of grammar topics; Heinle iRadio podcasts)
If you happen to purchase the book used, you can still find much some of these resources (self-tests, concentration, crosswords, flashcards) in the
4th edition.
