For an easy transition to higher levels of French, À plus ! Charnières ideally prepares students for advanced studies by introducing typical higher-level work formats. This includes listening comprehension training focused on the final exam, as well as analysis of stylistic devices and writing summaries.

À plus ! Charnières offers 4 thematic discs that can be taught in a modular way:

• YOUTH
• EUROPE
• MEDIA
• SUBSAHARAN AFRICA

The volume also facilitates active language practice, as the language acquisition phase is not yet complete. It provides a wide variety of text types (including many audio and visual materials) as well as authentic texts. Method and grammar pages in the appendix promote independent review and practice, thereby encouraging students' autonomy. Vocabulary work and differentiation are conducted directly within the instructional book.

All audio and visual materials from the textbook are available to students online free of charge and for download.
