Bien Lire, Bien Ecrire

These books are designed for use by IB Diploma Language B students and teachers. They are in the "Working with Text Types" series. The units, which cover various Text Types, provide students with a model text and give them exercises that help them to analyse the structure and language of the text and provide teachers with answers and notes. Students then work up to writing a similar type of text in a similar register of language. The approach trains students to reflect on the communicative purpose of each text and to use the language appropriate to the type of text and its audience. It teaches them to structure arguments in a clear, coherent and convincing way. The approach is lively and collaborative, encouraging students to work in pairs and small groups.
