"Le français en gros plans" is a single-level video course taking intermediate-level students up to an advanced level of French. Suitable for classroom use or for self-study there is provision for approximately 80 hours of study or the equivalent of one academic year. Divided into three main sections the exercises tackle language learning techniques; business and work related topics and items of general interest eg. television, radio and music.

The course comprises 2 video-cassettes, each with a running time of approximately 55 minutes. These recordings, which are the focus of all the activities, use rich, authentic language throughout and provide ideal preparation material for students about to embark on a period of study in a French-speaking country.

An answer booklet and the transcripts for all video recordings are included with the activity book.
