Author Description

This completely new video introduces students to French and froncophone lifestyles as they follow the adventures of Élodie and her friends throughout Paris. Modeling the functions, grammar, and vocabulary presented at the Intermediate level, each video segment represents a complete teaching unit filled with drama, culturally authentic situations and culturally appropriate language. As students get to know the characters, they are exposed to both the modern-day and historical situations that render France and the francophone world what they are today. The video also includes useful "on-the-street" interviews with people of all ages from all walks of life, providing a nice balance between the impromptu and the Élodie a Paris storyline.
