As a full service publisher of quality educational products, McGraw-Hill does much more than just sell textbooks to your students. We create and publish an extensive array of print, video, and digital supplements to support instruction on your campus. Orders of new (versus used) textbooks help us to defray the cost of developing such supplements, which is substantial. Please consult your local McGraw-Hill representative to learn about the availability of the supplements that accompany Rendez-vous.

Available to adopters and to students:

• Student Edition. The main textbook includes maps of the Francophone world, a grammar appendix, translations of mini-dialogues, and a French-English / English-French end vocabulary. In addition, students will also find a listening comprehension program available in a cassette or CD format that contains the mini-dialogues as well as the À l'écoute! listening comprehension activities.

• Listening Comprehension Cassette or CD. Packaged with the student text, this cassette or CD contains the mini-dialogues and the À l'écoute! listening comprehension passages that appear in the main text.
• CD-ROM. A new, interactive CD-ROM continues the emphasis on the meaningful uses of French that characterize the student text. Correlated with each chapter of the textbook, the CD-ROM offers multiple opportunities for students to review and practice vocabulary and grammar in a meaningful, interactive format. A video segment in each lesson invites students to "participate" in a dialogue with a native speaker of French and to further practice the language functions presented in each chapter. In addition, students continue their development of listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills through interaction with textual passages and other engaging content. Cultural themes introduced in the textbook are further discussed in the CD-ROM, and a Web link takes students directly from the CD-ROM to the Rendez-vous website.
• Website. The new Rendez-vous website brings the French-speaking world directly into students' lives to enrich their language-learning experience with a myriad of authentic French resources and cultural activities. Resources for students include additional vocabulary and grammar activities for each chapter as well as cultural Internet links and exercises. For instructors, the website provides grammar PowerPoint slides, online transparencies, links to professional organizations, and many other resources.
