With its clear, easy-to-follow structure and step-by-step skill-building methodology, Horizons is a complete program that guides students through their first year of learning French. It is organized by competencies that act as building blocks for students. The competencies, about four in each chapter, focus on specific, real-world functions, which serves to help students learn the language and make connections to the world around them. To support students in their learning journey, this learning package includes a number of interactive activities, contextualized vocabulary and grammar, and increased coverage of French Canada, found both in the text and within our online resources.
