le monde francophone is a collection of essays on each French speaking country or region. Usually just a page or 2 followed by a single page of questions. There aren't any tapes, but perhaps native French speakers could make a recording...
Here is the book preface: Le Monde Francophone, like other publications of the School of Language Studies, is the result of a felt need. A significant proportion of the Foreign Service students enrolled in French are preparing for assignments in French speaking areas other than metropolitan France. Yet there are few texts available to give the student a wide ranging sample of information about the French speaking areas of the world. Elisabeth de Maynadier, a Coordinator in the FSI French language staff, noted the need for materials of the kind incorporated in this book in 1976 and started to write brief articles on the countries to which her students of that time were slated to proceed. Drawing on the sources which she lists in the bibliography and encouraged by her supervisor Monique Cossard, Mme de Maynadier expanded her articles to touch on the geography, civilization and personalities of 28 countries in the Francophone world. Le Monde Francophone is a reader intended for students who are ready for material at about the R-2 level of difficulty on the FSI reading proficiency scale. It is interesting to note that most of the former French colonies have chosen French as an official language. But the use of the French language may tend to mask cultural differences about which students should be aware. Le Monde Francophone provides introduction to some of the countries and cultures associated with the French language. The bibliography of this volume provides additional guidance. Assisting Mme de Maynadier were Josette Howarth who typed much of the manuscript in draft, Lydie Stefanopoulos and Mme Cossard who proofread the volume, Hedy St. Denis who assisted in the preparation of the glossary, and Leo Masciana who provided counsel on formatting. Beatrix Zamorano typed the camera-ready copy. Some of the pictures were taken by Liam Humphreys, others by Mme Cossard and still others were provided by the FSI Family Workshop. Anne Meagher and June Hampton of the FSI Audio-Visual Section designed the cover. Here is part of the table of contents: Burundi Histoire de la population du Ruanda et du Burundi..10 Traits généraux du Ruanda et du Burundi............12 Le Burundi.........................................14 Quelques coutumes Masai............................16 Cameroun Généralités sur le Cameroun........................18 Histoire contemporaine du Cameroun.................2 0 L'art camerounais..................................22 Martin Samba.......................................2 4 Congo Congo: première partie............................26 Congo: deuxième partie............................28 Côte D'Ivoire Houphouët-Boigny et l'indépendance de la Côte d ' Ivoire.........................................30 La technique de la cire perdue.....................32 Les cauris.........................................34 Naissance d 'Abidjan................................36 |
