T'es Branche Level 1a

Communicate confidently in the modern francophone world! Connect! with essential questions to a globally competitive society to new experiences and perspectives in a blended learning environment EMC's T'es branché? is the most talked about, all-new, four-level French textbook program on the market that responds to the needs of today's learners, for whom technology is at the center of their learning. With an essential question at the heart of each unit, T'es branché? engages learners to experience the French language and francophone culture, and treats them as social actors, not as passive recipients of culture. The blended learning approach of T'es branché? provides 21st century learners a multi-sensory and multi-layered learning environment designed to inspire creativity, synthesis, and collaboration, as well as provide opportunities to analyze, reflect, and evaluate. Many opportunities for learners to practice the three modes of communication (interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational) are available in the textbook as well as in supplemental sources. The Rencontres culturelles filmed dialogues, Points de depart culture readings, and Lecture thématique literary sections were developed in France; thus, learners are exposed to natural, idiomatic language, and authentic texts. These sections provide the comprehensible input needed to develop communicative competence. While paired, small group, and cooperative group activities are at the heart of today's student-centered classroom, activities and projects in T'es branché? require learners to dig deeper and go beyond general comprehension questions while developing communication skills.
