Hi Heather,
I have pasted an email below that links to two books that might help (backstory
included).
Plus, there is this:
Histoires d'Avenirs: Science-fiction pour le cours de français niveaux intermédiaire
et avancé<http://dx.doi.org/10.15760/pdxopen-12>, by Annabelle Dolidon and Stéphanie
Roulon.
Stories of Avenirs is a textbook based on nine French science fiction news targeted at an
audience of foreign (intermediate and advanced) learners but also a native audience
wishing to deepen its knowledge of modern science fiction - after a preliminary chapter
which recalls the historical bases of the genre. The manual proposes a holistic approach
(stylistic, linguistic, and intercultural) and asks for critical thinking through reading,
interpretation, conversation, research and presentations, with a twofold objective: to
develop French language skills in contemporary subjects through fiction; and to introduce
French and francophone science fiction to foreign learners.
Cheers,
Rajiv

Hi Karen,
I hope you're excellent! I'm writing to let you know that, with Rajiv's
(copied) help, KU Libraries was recently able to work with the author of 2 intro french
texts to make them open. Both were conventionally published, but went out of print, which
reverted the rights back to the authors, and now the authors have agreed to open
(CC-BY-NC) licensing for them.

In addition to the primary textbooks, both include supplements to support instruction
(exercises, etc). The meet the OTL criteria and we'd love to see them included so
they can be more fully utilized. I realize they're a little dated, but I would guess
they're still fine for intro instruction and at least they're licensed to allow
for modernizing now.
Plus, as the UMN kids say: "I figured French hadn't changed that much." Let
me know if you need any more information.
Cheers,
Josh

An instructor who teaches first year university French is looking for an open textbook.
Does anyone know of something to replace this:
Invitation au monde francophone" (2nd edition), Jarvis, Gilbert A., Thérèse M. Bonin,
Diane W. Birckbichler, Anne Lair, Boston: Heinle Cengage Learning, 2005.
Thank you.
