Taches d'encre: French Composition 5th Edition by Cheryl L. Krueger/Maryse Fauvel

Overview

Using a process-writing approach, Krueger/Fauvel's TACHES D'ENCRE: FRENCH COMPOSITION, 5th edition, is a third-year composition text that helps students master writing skills, gain confidence as writers and discover that writing -- even in a foreign language -- can be a pleasure. Organized in a workbook format, the text is written entirely in French, except the introductory chapter. As they progress through the program, students study multiple genres, practice stylistic analysis and broaden their repertoire of related speech acts, vocabulary and grammatical structures. Each chapter features a French or Francophone model text -- a literary piece or excerpt, journalistic selection or informal writing -- that illustrates the chapter's target genre. In addition, all-new readings and activities promote diversity, while a new testing program makes the course easier to teach online.

She has served as chair of the Department of French Language and Literature and as director of undergraduate programs. In addition, she is part of the editorial board of DIX-NEUF, (JOURNAL OF THE SOCIETY OF DIX-NEUVIÉMISTES), has served on the AAUSC editorial board and is an elected member of the MLA's 19th-Century French Literature Division Executive Committee. Krueger is author of PERSPECTIVES ON TEACHING LANGUAGE AND CONTENT (Yale University Press, 2020) and THE ART OF PROCRASTINATION: BAUDELAIRE'S POETRY IN PROSE (University of Delaware Press, 2007); editor of APPROACHES TO TEACHING BAUDELAIRE'S PROSE POEMS (MLA, 2017); and co-author of MISE-EN-SCÈNE: CINÉMA ET LECTURE. Her articles have appeared in such journals as DIX-NEUF, FRENCH FORUM, FOREIGN LANGUAGE ANNALS, LITERATURE/FILM QUARTERLY, MODERN LANGUAGES OPEN, NINETEENTH-CENTURY FRENCH STUDIES, ROMANCE NOTES, WOMEN IN FRENCH STUDIES and LITTERATURE. Krueger’s current research focuses on 19th-century French literature and culture, French cinema, and the senses, olfaction and perfume. Her interest in helping students find their voice in French developed over the many years she served as language program director at UVA. Her approach to teaching writing is informed by a combination of research in SLA and plenty of practice experimenting with new techniques and course design. Cheryl advocates the book's interactive, process-writing for writers at any level -- from students just beginning to professionals writing for publication.
