Description

Welcome to Débuts: a completely integrated film-based introductory course for learning French language and culture. The film narrative of Le Chemin du retour is what drives the scope and sequence of vocabulary and grammar, the presentation of culture, and the development of reading and writing. A two-hour feature-length film, Le Chemin du retour is the story of a young television journalist, Camille Leclair, and her pursuit of the truth about her grandfather’s mysterious past. Through Camille’s quest, students learn language and culture in the functional context provided by the story. The textbook/film package grew out of the authors’ conviction that language learning is more than just learning skills: it’s also a process in which understanding of culture will have to surely occupy a central position. Due to this fact, Débuts and Le Chemin du retour emphasize the importance of cultural awareness and understanding, not only of French and Francophone culture, but also of the student’s own culture. In addition, the Débuts program contains both literary and cultural readings, in addition to a playlist of Francophone songs, to provide even more authentic input to students on current or provocative topics, making an allowance for more student interaction in class. There is also CourseSmart eTextbook version of this title available one by one. Students can save up to 50% off the price of a print book, reduce their affect on the environment, and access powerful web tools for learning. Faculty can also review and compare the full text online without having to wait for a print desk copy. For maxiumum portability, e Textbooks will also be viewed on an iPhone or iPod Touch, and they are able to be printed.
