Deux mondes
offers a natural approach to language learning that fosters communicative and cultural competence in the introductory French class, while responding to the changing needs of students and instructors by providing digital resources to support them. The
program is built around the following principles:
Focusing on communication rather than form
Emphasizing cultural competency and authentic contexts
Fostering community through group work
Creating a low-anxiety environment
Firmly grounded in research on second-language learning,
supports the ACTFL National Standards, as outlined in the five "C" goal areas (Communication, Cultures, Connections, Comparisons, and Communities) of the World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages, and provides a strong foundation for meeting those standards.
