Hi everybody,

I will teach French next year to young people (16-year-olds) attending specific courses to learn jobs. I was looking for books in French dealing with commercial issues, such as phone conversations, business letters and things like that...Do you have any title to suggest me?

Thank you very much
Simona

See http://www.olf.gouv.qc.ca/RESSOURCES/publications/publications/publications_vedettes.html . Many online samples from the book are also available at http://www2.publicationsduquebec.gouv.qc.ca/documents/fab/fab.php

The only caveat is this book is quite advanced - meant for use in offices - but you should be able to draw from it according to the level of your students. A workbook is also available.

Thanks a lot!!! Sep 3, 2010

Thank you very much for your kind replies!

The online samples of Le français au bureau are very interesting (even though a bit 'advanced' maybe, but useful!), but I think I will follow Sophie's advice: Objectif Express is probably the right choice for my course.

Have a nice w-e
Simona
