Promenades, 5th Edition
Designed to invite meaningful connections with contemporary and diverse francophone cultures, Promenades takes a student-friendly approach to introductory French. This program aims to make learning easier, more enjoyable, and more successful for students while enhancing teaching effectiveness for instructors. It helps improve students' speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills, enabling them to express their ideas and engage with others in real-life situations.
What sets Promenades, 5th Edition apart?
In the fifth edition of Promenades, presentations and activities have been revised to further incorporate a broader range of francophone cultures and promote intercultural communicative competence. New Projets create deeper learning experiences, while updated diagnostic pre-assessments and assignable Integrated Performance Assessments (IPAs) offer a more student-centered approach to testing.
With an updated contemporary design, Group Chats, and Student Video Recordings accompanied by rubrics, Promenades provides tools that make both teaching and learning easier, more meaningful, and more manageable.
