Communicate, Explore, and Connect Across Cultures
Level 1A & Level 1B / Novice Low — Novice High
ISBN:
Levels 1A and 1B of the EntreCultures series are designed for middle school students. The two books begin building foundational language skills, encourage an inquisitive mindset towards the Francophone world, and help students develop cultural insights necessary to experience life "entre cultures," using French to build communities.
The standards-based EntreCultures program is all about teaching French language and francophone cultures to novice through intermediate learners through the lens of interculturality. Students discover appropriate ways to interact with a variety of perspectives by exploring the lives of teens across the francophone world and engaging with authentic resources from the beginning.
Each teacher edition of EntreCultures shows you how to incorporate proficiency-based instruction into your classroom, provides ample tips and suggestions throughout each unit, and includes a helpful section on teaching strategies. We also provide assessment guidelines, rubrics for IPAs, analytic and holistic rubrics, and more, on Learning Site®.
The EntreCultures series includes AP® and IB themes from the very beginning. and teacher resources in the front and end matter of the Teacher Edition outline AP® and IB themes and subthemes. so you can start your learners on the right foot.
The EntreCultures series is chock-full of authentic resources, like podcasts, news stations, video bloggers, and more. The resources are unit-aligned and taken from across the French-speaking world.
The U.S.-based authors of EntreCultures, all educators and leaders in the field, considered a variety of learner and educator styles in the backward design of the series.
Assignable Can-Do statements in each unit of EntreCultures show learners a direct connection between tasks and what they are aiming to be able to do in French. Learners can upload completed Can-Do assignments to their student portfolios to show growth, and when it is time to evaluate their learning, students can complete performance-based formative and summative assessments.
EntreCultures nurtures your learners' interculturality by layering in reflection on the products, practices, and perspectives of French-speaking communities, as well as how diverse language, culture, geography, and environments affect the world around them.
Wayside has more than 20 French CI/ADI readers, and our library continues to grow, so you will be sure to find plenty of readers to fit your learners' needs.
Most middle school instructors cover less material in a single year than at the high school level. For this reason, we have published Level 1A and 1B. And to help middle schoolers as they return to school after summer break, Unit 3 from 1A is reviewed at the start of 1B.
EntreCulturas fully aligns with ACTFL's World-Readiness Standards and incorporates the NCSSFL-ACTFL Can-Do Statements, performance descriptors, and proficiency guidelines.
