Français-Monde: Connectez-vous á la Francophonie is a new college-level introductory French program informed by: 1. research findings combined with years of teaching experience and first-year program direction; 2. learners’ desire to be equipped linguistically and culturally to communicate more successfully and participate more fully in the global community and marketplace; 3. instructors’ need for materials that help them meet the needs of a diverse learner population, both in and out of the classroom. Reflecting the five goals of the National Standards and their related objectives, Français-Monde is designed to help learners develop cross-cultural competence in a rich and flexible framework by providing a variety of options that allow instructors to meet the goals and objectives of their course, as well as the needs of their learners.
