Features

Thorough Grammar Review

Espaces provides a more thorough grammar review, including a comparison of the passé composé vs. imparfait over two lessons. Regular -ir verbs are taught before irregular -ir verbs in units 4 and 5.

Cultural Integration

Examples of local, regional, and global French-speaking culture are incorporated throughout Espaces. Highlights on countries, customs, expressions, and the arts are integrated into the lesson themes and structures.

Engaging Video

Video is a vital part of Espaces, providing a fun and instructive supplement to the text. The episodic Roman-photo reinforces structures and grammar from the lesson, while cultural videos, TV clips, and short films bring the world to your French classroom.

Build Language Skills

Complete practice and skill-building appear in every lesson, with ample opportunity for students to develop their listening, speaking, reading, and writing abilities. Readings progress from publisher-created samples to authentic texts in units 12–15.

Clear Design

The unique, easy-to-navigate design of Espaces engages students with photos, drawings, realia, and charts designed for instructional impact and visual appeal. Teaching notes are provided on every page in the instructor’s annotated edition.

Supplemental Resources

Additional resources enhance the presentation, practice, assessment, and accessibility of Espaces content. Included are audio and video scripts, lab and testing audio, presentation slides, an activity pack, and much more—all hosted on the Supersite.
