EntreCultures 2nd Edition empowers students to communicate confidently while supporting teachers with tools to lead impactful lessons. Designed by experienced French educators and professional native speakers, this four-level series teaches through the lens of interculturality, offering an unparalleled approach to language learning that’s unlike anything else.
Level 4 of the EntreCultures series is designed to help learners build proficiency through the Intermediate Mid to Intermediate High levels. It provides targeted support for advanced themes and language, equipping students with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in advanced academic programs, such as AP® or IB-level courses.
EntreCultures 4 features a wraparound TE, providing guidance in incorporating proficiency-based instruction in your classroom, ample tips and ideas throughout each unit, teaching strategies, connections to other disciplines, and more.
The series incorporates key themes and subthemes from Advanced Placement (AP®) and International Baccalaureate (IB) programs right from the start. This alignment helps students engage with content that is directly relevant to these curricula, enhancing their overall educational experience.
EntreCultures incorporates a broad range of authentic materials that immerse learners in real-world cultural contexts, including print, audio, video, and images. These resources enhance students' understanding of cultural products, practices, and perspectives.
The series uses a backward design approach, beginning with clear essential questions and learning objectives that align with target proficiency levels and AP® themes. This ensures that activities and assessments are strategically designed to guide learners through their journey from formative to summative assessments.
Each unit includes assignable Can-Do Statements that help learners see a direct connection between tasks and their language goals in French. Learners can upload completed Can-Do assignments to their student portfolios to track progress, and when it’s time to assess their learning, they can complete differentiated formative assessments to prepare them for summative assessments.
An Integrated Performance Assessment (IPA) is a final project that evaluates students' language proficiency. At the end of each unit, students complete "J’y arrive," a summative IPA that assesses their skills in the context of a personalized cultural scenario.
Each unit is introduced by young native French speakers in engaging video blogs. These videos provide authentic insights into language and culture to reinforce important themes and topics covered in the unit.
Wayside has more than 20 French CI/ADI readers, and our library continues to grow. With CI/ADI Correlation Guides, you will easily find a selection of readers to fit your learners' needs.
EntreCultures emphasizes the development of intercultural understanding alongside language skills. Each unit includes reflection prompts and activities that encourage learners to explore and appreciate the cultural richness within Francophone communities.
Nualang, an interactive platform, is seamlessly integrated throughout the series to help students practice listening, speaking, and pronunciation skills. Instant feedback from Nualas further supports effective language learning.

Learners and teachers alike use the Classroom Forum anytime as their online community bulletin board. Teachers love posting lesson openers, polls, links to external resources, and more. And students can comment, exchange GIFS, and upload audio, videos, and photos.
Mock conversations with pre-recorded conversation prompts challenge your learners to hone their conversational skills. Learners record themselves replying to comments and questions, and the recorded conversations can be added to their portfolio as an artifact.
Online student portfolios follow learners from unit to unit, level to level. Students can upload evidence of what they can do in the language - assigned Can-Do statements, activities, quizzes, audio files, PowerPoint and Word files, and more. This allows them to set goals and reflect on their progress related to Can-Do Statements.
Use the online calendar to remind students of upcoming assignments and deadlines, assign tasks to specific learners or an entire class, and more. Explorer® lets you know when your students complete their work and alerts students as soon as you’ve graded. Grade each quiz question response without opening each question in Explorer®. Automatic grading is available where appropriate.
Wayside’s Instructional Strategies Toolkit provides loads of instructional ideas and approaches that can be filtered by mode, skill, proficiency level, activity type, learning style, and more! Whether you are a new teacher or want to find new strategies, the toolkit provides built-in world language methodology and pedagogy training at any time.
