EntreCultures 2
Level 2 / Novice High — Intermediate Low
Overview
EntreCultures 2 recycles grammar, vocabulary, and culture with the content introduced and practiced in Level 1, and leverages communicative practice and comprehensible input strategies so that learners can acquire new vocabulary and grammar in context.
EntreCultures - A Cohesive System
The standards-based EntreCultures program is all about increasing French language proficiency and cultural competency for novice through intermediate students through the lens of interculturality. Students discover appropriate ways to interact with others whose perspectives may be different from their own by exploring the lives of real people from the entire francophone world.
In level 2, learners develop the language proficiency, personal attitudes, and cultural insights necessary to experience life entre cultures using French to connect with people and their own community. Vocabulary and grammar are presented in context. The online Explorer® provides all audio-visual resources, scaffolding, vocabulary, and grammar reinforcement, including flipped classroom videos, with all activities tied to the Mon dossier to upload performance evidence.
EntreCultures 2 supports teachers in assessing what learners can do with the language they have acquired through three differentiated formative performance-based assessments and a summative IPA per unit. IPA-specific, analytic, and holistic performance rubrics accompany this series in print and online, so teachers and students can stay on track.
The educator author team considered a variety of learner and educator styles in the backward design of the series. Content includes IB and AP® task types and themes without compromising on our commitment to empowering each learner to communicate in the real world. Units are clearly organized with ample print and online student and teacher support, with instructional strategies and support offered in the textbook, on LearningSite®, and in a constantly growing community of proficiency practitioners.
