Each of the fourteen chapters supplies an introduction in French to a specific area of business and enables the reader to understand newspaper articles and various other documents from the world of business. Relevant vocabulary and a variety of activities (often oral) are provided to reinforce the practical nature of the material. These activities range from comprehension and translation to role-play and debate. The selected business texts that close each chapter help students to apply the knowlege aquired and heighten their awareness of business, both national and international.
