Description

This resource is a proficiency-framed, communicative, and task-based e-textbook for Intermediate French II.

Because learners at this level primarily communicate in sentence-level responses about routine, everyday situations, the four units of this e-textbook focus on strengthening skills across the three modes of communication—interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational—while deepening intercultural competencies. Unit themes include:

  • presenting oneself and exploring bilingual, intersectional identity;
  • engaging in written, oral, and mediated exchanges on topics of personal interest
  • examining perspectives, products, and practices of francophone cultures and comparing them with one’s own; and
  • mapping linguistic and cultural competencies onto students’ future personal and professional goals.

Comments

The creation of this open textbook was supported in part by the 2018 Affordable Course Content Awards program. Developed over six years by a team of VCU faculty and students, the text is intentionally designed around communicative language teaching. It targets learners progressing from novice-high to intermediate low/mid proficiency on the NCSSFL-ACTFL scale (or A2 to B1–B2 on the CEFR scale).

This open access resource is no longer actively maintained or supported. The final published version has been archived and is preserved for continued access and reference.
