The "Cahier" (Workbook/Lab Manual) provides support for the improvement of the student's written French through exercises that move from the discrete point, self-check variety to the more open-ended ones, culminating in a choice of composition topics using the process writing approach and referring to the Système-D Writing Assistant for French software. The "Exercices de laboratoire" section follows the "Exercices ecrits" section of the "Cahier," and offer practice of phonetics and listening comprehension and dictation.
