Cette méthode de français sur deux niveaux est destinée aux apprenants de niveau débutant et faux débutant. La méthode est prévue pour atteindre les compétences du niveau A2+ à la fin du volume 1 et B1+ à la fin du volume 2. «Francofolie» propose des thèmes d’actualité proches de la vie quotidienne tout en se concentrant sur les différences et les spécificités de la France d’aujourd’hui. Dans le but d’impliquer l’apprenant en qualité de sujet actif, «Francofolie» amène à l’acquisition de nouvelles structures grammaticales et communicatives à travers l’observation, la découverte et la déduction. Cette méthodologie favorise une progression soutenue et efficace, puisqu’elle reprend toujours les connaissances et les compétences déjà acquises. Les activités, très nombreuses, sont extrêmement variées et motivantes: les exercices de systématisation des structures grammaticales alternent avec des activités qui impliquent la participation, la prise de position et l’initiative de l’apprenant. Enfin, les nombreux dessins humoristiques et les photos sont autant de stimulus auxquels l’apprenant est appelé à répondre activement. La langue employée, authentique et quotidienne, comprend aussi le langage des jeunes, avec ses modes. LIVRE DE L’ÉLÈVE «Francofolie» est articulé en «Parcours» divisés en trois unités de quatre leçons chacune, plus un «Point Écoute» et un «Point Grammaire». Les leçons ont comme point de départ un document (dialogue, page web, dessin, etc.) introduisant les fonctions communicatives, les structures grammaticales et le lexique. Chaque leçon est articulée en plusieurs rubriques. Les «Parcours» se terminent par: • quatre pages de civilisation • un bilan.
