Welcome to EntreCultures ®
EntreCultures® is a four-level, standards-based, thematically organized program consisting of six in-depth units per level, providing learners with opportunities to interact and engage with authentic materials and adolescent speakers of the language. By learning in an intercultural context, students acquire communication skills and content knowledge while exploring the products, practices, and perspectives of French-speaking cultures.
EntreCultures® Mission
EntreCultures® aims to prepare learners to communicate, explore, and connect across cultures in order to foster attitudes of mutual understanding and respect.
EntreCultures® Vision

Our vision is a world where language learning takes place through the lens of interculturality, so students can discover appropriate ways to interact with others whose perspectives may be different from their own.
Welcome to EntreCultures® 1
Dear Colleagues,
Welcome to EntreCultures® 1!
This series was written by French teachers who understand and appreciate the dynamics of language learning and the need for strong teacher support throughout an instructional series.
EntreCultures® is based on the belief that the purpose of learning languages is to communicate and interact with cultural competence. EntreCultures® balances communicative and intercultural goals via dynamic and engaging activities, interactions, and tutorials. Students will see and hear a variety of young people throughout the program, helping them to interact with the relevant and culturally rich topics that they are studying in class.
In order to achieve the intercultural goals of each unit, students are offered frequent opportunities to comment and reflect on what they have learned about the target cultures, which promotes an attitude of understanding and acceptance of other cultures.
Following the guidelines of the World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages, EntreCultures® features multiple strategies designed to help students interpret and express themselves with expanding literacy while learning to communicate and interact with cultural acumen.

Approaches to Teaching and Learning
High-Leverage Teaching Practices
EntreCultures® fully supports the ten High-Leverage Teaching Practices (HLTP) identified by Glisan and Donato.1
1. Facilitating Target Language Comprehensibility
Acquiring language is an unconscious process. In order for an independent language system to develop in the brain, learners must interact with large amounts of compelling input that is comprehensible and meaningful to them. Likewise, learners must have opportunities to engage with others to express themselves in the language. We strongly encourage classes to be conducted 90 percent or more in French from the beginning of Level 1. To facilitate this, EntreCultures® focuses on high-frequency vocabulary used in real-world contexts that interest students. Authentic resources are supported by images and other context clues. Emphasis is also placed on word families and cognates to expand vocabulary.2
2. Building a Classroom Discourse Community
Interacting with others is at the heart of communication. EntreCultures® provides a variety of real-world oral and written interpersonal communication tasks in every unit. Students have opportunities to exchange information and ideas; to meet needs and address situations; and to express, react, and support preferences and opinions in a range of formats, including in-class pair or group discussions, text message exchanges, formal and informal email exchanges, AP®-style simulated conversations, posting and responding to posts in an online discussion forum, and more. The communication is meaningful, purposeful, and engaging. Where needed, there is just-in-time support such as Rappel features to remind students of previously learned material, Détail linguistique and Détail grammatical features with useful language information, and Expressions utiles or On peut aussi dire features for personalized vocabulary.
3. Guiding Learners to Interpret and Discuss Authentic Texts
Authentic materials provide language in real-life contexts as well as insight into target-culture perspectives. Learners interact with authentic resources in a wide variety of text types involving print, audio, video, and images. Activities that accompany these resources are designed to “edit the task, not the text,” to ensure that students can access the information. Interacting with resources created for and by native speakers allows learners to reflect on cultural products, practices, and perspectives to develop interculturality. In addition to a wealth of authentic resources, vloggers from across the francophone world provide unscripted language and a glimpse into their lives. See “Cultivating Interculturality” (p. TE18) and “Integrating Interculturality in Teaching and Learning” (p. TE19) in this section.

2 See “Staying in the Target Language” in this section (pp. TE22) for more information about the roles of comprehensible input and comprehensible output in EntreCultures®
Approaches to Teaching and Learning
4. Focusing on Form in a Dialogic Context Through PACE
Découvrons sections in each unit introduce language structures in context through PACE, an acronym for Presentation, Attention, Co-Construction, and Extension. Learners are encouraged to look for language patterns and develop hypotheses about how language works. Short videos provide additional language in context and model the discovery process. See “Grammar Instruction in Context” (p. TE30) in this section for more information.
5. Focusing on Cultural Products, Practices, Perspectives in a Dialogic Context
In addition to interacting directly with authentic resources, Zoom culture segments provide information about products and practices seen in the unit and include questions designed to guide students in reflecting about similar products or practices in their own communities and in the target culture. Students respond in a discussion forum, where they can read and respond to one another’s ideas. Réflexion interculturelle encourages students to identify perspectives and make cultural comparisons. The J’y arrive summative assessments include an assessment of interculturality based on the unit theme. Each unit concludes with a section called Notre communauté mondiale, which provides opportunities to use French in the real world to investigate culture and interact with the global community of French speakers.
6. Providing Oral Corrective Feedback to Improve Learning Performance
Providing specific and timely feedback is one of the top ten influences on student achievement, according to Hattie (2009).3 While oral corrective feedback is the responsibility of the teacher, EntreCultures® supports other ways of providing feedback to students. Teachers have access to a variety of rubrics, including analytic, holistic, single-point, and assessment-specific. Teachers can give written feedback or record oral feedback for every online activity as well as in response to student self-assessment using the Portfolio. See “Assessing Language Performance in Context” (p. TE32) and “Rubrics” (p. TE33) in this section.
7. Establishing a Meaningful and Purposeful Context for Language Instruction
EntreCultures® provides real-world settings and purposes for every activity so that learners understand the greater purpose and benefits of developing their proficiency in French. The Notre communauté mondiale section of each unit encourages students to engage directly with French speakers to make language and culture come alive. See “Vocabulary Instruction in Context” (p. TE29), “Grammar Instruction in Context” (p. TE30), and “Assessing Language Performance in Context” (p. TE32) in this section.

Approaches to Teaching and Learning
8. Planning for Instruction Using an Iterative Process for Backward Design
EntreCultures® was developed using the backward design process. Authors began planning each unit by identifying the essential questions and learning objectives based on target proficiency levels and Advanced Placement® (AP®) themes, finding authentic resources, developing the J’y arrive summative assessment, and then creating each Communiquons section, beginning with the J’avance formative assessment and working backwards to design the learning experiences. In this way, authors ensure that activities support formative assessments and that formative assessments lead to success on summative assessments.
9. Engaging Learners in Purposeful Written Communication
EntreCultures® provides many opportunities for students to engage in presentational writing in real-world contexts in a variety of genres, including narrating a story or personal event, describing events, giving instructions, expressing and supporting opinions, sharing research, and more. Students interact with authentic resources that become models for presentational writing tasks as they develop literacy in French. In addition, Learning Strategy videos provide students with explicit guidance for tasks such as writing a formal email, inviting someone to an event, preparing a comparative presentation, and constructing an argumentative essay.
10. Developing Contextualized Performance Assessments
EntreCultures® uses performance-based assessments to show what students can do in real-world contexts. While activities within the Communiquons sections may push students to higher performance levels, the formative and summative assessments are written to demonstrate proficiency at the target levels, which have been determined based on current research in the field. All assessments are designed around authentic, respectful tasks that mirror what has been taught and practiced in the Communiquons sections. Each assessment includes tasks in each mode of communication: interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational. The summative assessment in each unit is an Integrated Performance Assessment (IPA) that includes interculturality and brings together the unit’s essential questions. See “Assessing Language Performance in Context” (p. TE32) in this section.
Approaches to Teaching and Learning
Cultivating Interculturality
What is Interculturality?
EntreCultures® operates on the cutting-edge principle that to develop language skills and foster intercultural understanding, learners need multiple opportunities to reflect on their own culture and gain cultural knowledge of francophone communities early in the language-learning process.
In each unit, prompts for intercultural reflection and can-do self-assessments support teachers with the integration of cultural awareness, appreciation, and understanding within each theme.
How Can Students Demonstrate Interculturality?
• Cultural Products & Practices1: Learners use their language skills to investigate the world beyond their familiar environment.
• Cultural Perspectives: Learners use their language skills to recognize and understand others’ ways of thinking as well as their own.
• Intercultural Interactions: Learners use their language skills and cultural understanding to interact in a cultural context other than their own.

Approaches to Teaching and Learning
Developing and Assessing Interculturality in Teaching and Learning
Interculturality is an outcome of a learning environment that purposefully cultivates the attitudes of curiosity, open-mindedness, respect, tolerance, and empathy towards others.
As learners become comfortable with learning about others and their cultures through products, practices, perspectives, and interactions, they develop the skills to reflect on their feelings, thoughts, perceptions, and reactions to understand what it is like to be in someone else’s shoes.
1. Knowing Myself 2: How can learners understand their own culture and use their own language skills to investigate products and practices of francophone cultures?
By investigating, explaining, and reflecting on common cultural products of francophone cultures
Mon progrès interculturel h
Investigate: I can identify some familiar products, landmarks, and monuments and what they represent to the francophone people.
By investigating, explaining, and reflecting on common cultural practices of francophone cultures
Mon progrès interculturel h
Investigate: I can identify how francophone cultures and my culture celebrate local and national holidays or festivals.
2. Exploring Communities: How can learners use their language skills to recognize, understand, and connect to others’ ways of thinking in their own community and beyond?
By identifying and comparing cultural beliefs and values in order to understand the cultural perspectives of francophone speakers
Mon progrès interculturel h
Investigate: I can identify whom people consider to be part of their family in my culture and in a francophone culture.
By demonstrating curiosity, open-mindedness, respect, tolerance, and empathy while exploring communities in order to gain a balanced understanding of francophone cultures
Mon progrès interculturel h
Investigate: I can identify appropriate expressions and practices, such as gestures and body language, associated with greetings, introductions, and leave-taking in francophone cultures.

3. Engaging with the World: How can learners use their language skills and cultural understanding to function at a survival (Novice) level or functional (Intermediate) level in cultural contexts outside of the classroom?
By developing a sensitivity and awareness of cultural practices and perspectives to participate appropriately in cultural interactions
Mon progrès interculturel h
Investigate: I can identify some legal practices related to traditional marriages and civil unions between two people in France.
By engaging with age-similar native speakers in a variety of francophone countries by means of vlogs, interviews, blogs, podcasts, and social media messages to participate in cultural interactions
Mon progrès interculturel h
Interact: I can create a survey for francophone peers and interpret the results.
By engaging in self-assessment and intercultural reflections to participate in cultural interactions
Mon progrès interculturel h
Investigate: I can identify shopping habits where I live and in the francophone world and tell how they affect each community.
By finding solutions to global issues in different cultural contexts to participate appropriately in cultural interactions
Mon progrès interculturel h
Interact: I can interact in French to seek information about ways to support my community or others.
Approaches to Teaching and Learning
Staying in the Target Language
How to Get Started?
First of all, talk to learners about the use of French in the classroom. Remind them that they are not expected to understand everything that they hear, read, or see. Just as in English, they need to infer meaning based on the words they know, along with any visual clues or body language. Learning a language requires learners to tolerate ambiguity.
The Role of Comprehensible Input (CI)
Comprehensible input (CI) is based on Stephen Krashen’s input hypothesis6 that second-language acquisition occurs when learners receive an optimal quantity of comprehensible input that is just beyond their current level of competence (i +1); “i” indicates input at the current competence of the learner, and “+1” represents the next level of competence. It is the language that the learner is not yet able to produce but still understands.
Hearing and seeing chunks of functional and high frequency language: Maintenant nous allons…
Real world and/or personalized examples and tasks set in a cultural context
The Role of Comprehensible Output (CO)
Comprehensible output is based on Merrill Swain’s output hypothesis7 that learners need opportunities to produce output that is meaningful, purposeful, and motivating so that they can engage in collaborative dialogue, using and reflecting on what they have learned, to produce output that communicates what they want to say or write. The learning takes place in the struggle to produce appropriate output.
Negotiating meaning: asking for clarification and using circumlocution
Participating actively in the process of noticing and discovery
See pages T28 and T29 for specific examples of what comprehensible input (CI) and comprehensible output (CO) look and sound like in the classroom.

Approaches to Teaching and Learning
EntreCultures® is designed to assist teachers in achieving at least 90 percent use of French in the classroom beginning in Level 1 and eventually moving to 100 percent in Levels 2 and 3, providing guidance on implementing the ACTFL Position Statement (2010) on Use of the Target Language in the Classroom. 8
Bill VanPatten sums it up this way: “Communicative ability develops in only one way: through engaging in communication. That is, people learn to communicate by engaging in acts of expressing and interpreting meaning in many varied contexts. Communicative ability cannot be “drilled.” It cannot be practiced in the traditional sense of practice. Communicative ability develops because we find ourselves in communicative contexts. Thus, output (the expression of meaning) plays a major role in the development of communicative ability.”
VanPatten, B. “Creating Comprehensible Input and Output: Fundamental Considerations in Language Learning” (pp. 24-26). ACTFL, The Language Educator, Oct/Nov 2014.
There are multiple levels of support to help teachers stay in the target language:
• Teacher notes in the Teacher Edition address what to say and do to make language comprehensible for learners.
• A series of Learning Strategies videos teaches learners to build their communicative skills (for example, showing how to request clarification and assistance).
• A rich variety of visuals in the Student Edition and online allows learners to associate vocabulary and structures directly with images and contexts, rather than with a translation.
• Activities have built-in comprehension checks and formative assessments
• A variety of scaffolded interpersonal tasks encourage learners to negotiate for meaning and be creative with the target language.
• Rubrics, designed as informative tools for teachers, provide feedback to learners to help them monitor their own growth.
• Ongoing progress checks encourage learners to monitor how well they are able to meet the communicative and intercultural goals.
• Online resources allows learners to record audios and videos, while teachers can provide audio and textual feedback on each recording.
• Animated instructional videos for grammatical concepts (Découvrons) help learners to focus attention on grammatical patterns in French after they have processed contextual examples. These videos include explanations in English, except in Levels 3 and 4, so that learners can view them outside of the classroom and class time can be dedicated to target-language use.

Approaches to Teaching and Learning Instructional Strategies
What do comprehensible input (CI) and comprehensible output (CO) look like and sound like in the classroom?
As the teacher provides CI in the ways described under What The Teacher Does (CI), student engagement in the learning process What Students Do (CO) builds proficiency toward comprehensible output. See “Staying in the Target Language” in this section for an overview of language-acquisition theories on comprehensible input and comprehensible output.

Approaches to Teaching and Learning
Integrated Differentiated Instruction
As the world shrinks and global interaction becomes more commonplace, acquiring more than one language is essential for all students, not just for those in advanced programs. Moreover, world language classrooms are comprised of a mix of students who acquire language at different rates and in different ways. EntreCultures® recognizes that teachers must actively plan for varied approaches to what students will learn, how they will learn, and how they will show what they know and can do. For this reason, the program embraces a differentiated instructional approach, which meets the needs of the learner by appealing to a variety of interests and offering varied levels of complexity to accommodate multiple rates of learning.
According to the work of Carol Ann Tomlinson9, differentiation is a teacher’s response to learners’ needs based on guiding principles, such as continuous assessment, flexible grouping, and respectful tasks. Effective teachers weave differentiation into three areas of the curriculum: content (what students will learn), process (how students will acquire the content), and product (how students will demonstrate and extend what they know and can do) based on their own interests, learning profiles, and readiness levels.
EntreCultures® invites teachers to differentiate their classrooms through the five “non-negotiable” principles of Tomlinson’s approach by incorporating a variety of strategies and activities.

9 Carol Ann Tomlinson, The Differentiated Classroom, 2nd ed., ASCD, Alexandria, Va. (2014).
Approaches to Teaching and Learning
1. Supportive Learning Environment
Units are designed to build a sense of community among students, which promotes risktaking and collaboration. Online activities extend support via a variety of tools to facilitate differentiation, such as scaffolding and supplementary resources.
2. Continuous Assessment
Each unit includes a series of activities and steps that provide teachers with ongoing feedback on learners’ progress. These activities include the following:
• pre-assessment tasks, which tap into learners’ background knowledge, interests, and readiness levels
• formative assessments, which build learners’ content knowledge and skills in the language and provide both teacher and learner with evidence of progress toward proficiency through a variety of tasks and check-ins (When needed, two additional tiered versions of the J’avance formative assessments are available online so that teachers can empower students of all ability levels to demonstrate their progress via an appropriately rigorous and challenging task.)
• summative assessments, which are performance based to enable learners to demonstrate what they know and can do in the language
3. Articulated Curriculum
EntreCultures® lays the foundation for learners to build proficiency from Novice through Intermediate levels, preparing them to meet the more challenging expectations for proficiency and content in programs such as Advanced Placement® and International Baccalaureate.
4. Respectful Tasks
Unit topics are relevant and based in contexts that immerse students in the cultures that speak the language. Activities and assessments incorporate authentic sources and are set in theme-related, real-life cultural contexts. Tasks promote student choice and demonstration of what learners can do in the language. Moreover, tasks are tiered from the Novice through the Intermediate levels to promote higher-level thinking.
5. Flexible Grouping
Suggestions are provided for diversified grouping scenarios that are dynamic in nature and that vary based on learners’ interests, learning modalities, and readiness levels.
Approaches to Teaching and Learning
Heritage Learners
EntreCultures® recognizes that students in North American classrooms come from increasingly diverse backgrounds, and that a growing number of them are heritage learners of French—students who may have varying levels of exposure to the language or its cultures in their homes or communities. Online resources help meet the needs of heritage learners of French.
Engaging Heritage
Learners of French
Heritage learners...
1. grow up in homes or communities where French is spoken;
2. may speak French or only understand it;
3. may never have studied the language in school.

Effective Strategies for Engaging Heritage Learners of French
Vocabulary Development
Provide rich exposure to French and develop vocabulary through comprehensible input. Encourage heritage learners to expand their vocabulary by seeking out online resources such as magazines or films that interest them.
Literacy Development
Expand the bilingual range of heritage learners by providing engaging textual, audio, and visual materials from a variety of contexts. Heritage learners may struggle with reading and writing; provide open-ended writing tasks to allow them to express themselves at their level. Provide specific feedback and support to help them improve.
Cooperative Learning
Provide learners with opportunities to use French in meaningful, purposeful, and interesting ways to build self-esteem and confidence in their academic and social skills.
Culturally Relevant Instruction
Include references to students’ bicultural world and acknowledge their bilingual abilities. Bilingual and heritage students often receive negative messages about their language ability and cultural identity, so stay positive; validate and include in your curriculum examples of the language varieties used in heritage communities.
Approaches to Teaching and Learning
Vocabulary Instruction in Context
EntreCultures® introduces vocabulary in thematic chunks to fulfill the specific communicative goals indicated in the Mon progrès communicatif can-do learning targets throughout the units. Vocabulary is presented visually, in context, and with French synonyms or definitions at Levels 3 and 4 when appropriate.
All unit activities include listening, reading, and/or viewing comprehensible input that focuses on the target vocabulary in a thematic context. Following the input, a variety of interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational tasks in communicative and cultural contexts enables learners to produce the vocabulary they have processed for meaning. Additional vocabulary practice and vocabulary tasks in the context of each unit are in the Workbook.
EntreCultures® presents unit vocabulary in several manageable groupings:
• Comment dit-on ? is essential vocabulary for the thematic unit, needed for success on the formative and summative assessments, and for use beyond the classroom.
• Expressions utiles are useful expressions, transition words, and idioms highlighted for learners to use in communicative tasks.
• Vous savez déjà presents cognates related to the unit theme.
• Synthèse : Vocabulaire is a compilation of unit vocabulary organized by topics at the end of each unit, before the summative assessment.
EntreCultures® provides a series of Learning Strategies videos demonstrating studentfriendly strategies that help learners maximize their language learning, including vocabulary building. These videos are geared for Novice through Intermediate learners; all videos are in English with examples in French and are available online.
Approaches to Teaching and Learning
Grammar Instruction in Context
The EntreCultures® series aligns with the collaborative, co-constructive or dialogic10 approach to grammar instruction. This approach takes into account the sociocultural and interactive aspects of learning while balancing inductive and deductive discovery techniques. Learners are provided with multiple opportunities to personalize meaning of language in context through listening, viewing, and reading before they are asked to notice patterns or word order in the same familiar context.
Découvrons
Learners observe highlighted grammatical features in communicative contexts that they have previously processed for meaning, and are then asked to analyze the salient features of the targeted structure. This approach allows learners to take an active role in co-constructing the grammar concept by collaborating with peers and the teacher. The structures are integrated into theme-based communicative tasks. Additional, optional grammar practice, tasks, and animated videos on most Découvrons concepts are available online.
Rappel
This feature provides grammar or vocabulary reminders from prior levels or units that learners will need for communicative tasks at their current level.
Détail grammatical
Here, students see a detailed explanation of a new grammar feature needed for them to complete specific communicative tasks in the unit activities. In Levels 1 and 2, the explanations are in English; in Levels 3 and 4, they are in French.
Synthèse : Grammaire
This reference resource summarizes the structures presented in the unit for self study outside of class and when preparing for assessments.

10 Glisan, E. W. & Shrum, J. L. (2016). Teacher’s Handbook: Contextualized Language Instruction. 5th ed. Boston, Mass.: Cengage Learning.
Approaches to Teaching and Learning
Animated Videos
Animated videos provide reinforcement and additional instruction of grammatical concepts. They are designed to be used outside the classroom to help the teacher to speak French more consistently in the classroom. The videos feature recurring characters who focus learners’ attention on noticing grammar patterns in a familiar context. Graphic organizers and activities are available online to support the learner while the videos are being viewed.
• Découvrons videos model the inductive approach to teaching grammar. The videos are in English in Levels 1 and 2; videos in Levels 3 and 4 are in French. Students can watch the Découvrons video after they have discovered patterns on the same grammatical structure in the classroom.
• If the teacher is new to the inductive approach, these Découvrons videos can serve as models for how to present new material in this framework.
• Structure en avant videos model the deductive approach, with an explicit description of the grammatical structures. All videos are in English with examples in context in French, and are designed to be used by learners outside the classroom.
How to Guide Learners to Discover Grammatical Patterns
1. Focus attention on the properties of language after ensuring students comprehend the meaning of the language that they are asked to notice.
2. Use guiding questions such as the following:
• What patterns did you see?
• Can you summarize your observations?
3. Engage in a think-pair-share hypothesis process:
• Jot down any observations individually.
• Share observations with classmates.
• Share conclusions with the class and teacher.
4. Co-construct grammar paradigm explanations with the teacher and the class:
• Collaborate: What are the hypotheses? What conclusions have you drawn?
• Provide more models for the students to test their hypotheses.
• Draw final conclusions.
5. Provide purposeful communicative applications.
Approaches to Teaching and Learning
Assessing Language Performance in Context
Assessments
EntreCultures® applies the backward-design planning process, beginning with the end in mind; that is, each unit leads students to what they will need to know and be able to do to demonstrate their communicative skills and cultural and content knowledge at the end of the unit. Essential questions and unit performance goals were developed first, followed by a standards-based Integrated Performance Assessment12 (IPA) for the unit. The unit activities, communicative tasks, and formative performancebased tasks are developed with the IPA in mind.
J’y arrive, a summative IPA, is a series of interrelated performance-based tasks integrating each communicative mode in a personalized cultural context based on the goals of the thematic unit. Each unit’s table of contents provides a glimpse of the IPA; a more detailed overview of the thematic summative assessment can be found at the end of each unit. The assessment itself, instructions, and IPA analytic rubrics are available online.
The Can-Do Assessment Path highlights the backward design by incorporating the Assessed Can-Do Icon x in the Teacher's Edition at point-of-use for each activity where it applies. This visual indicator allows teachers to identify which Mon progrès communicatif Can-Do statements are threaded into the formative assessment, the J'avance section.
J’avance is a formative assessment that prepares students for the summative IPA, giving teachers the opportunity to provide specific feedback to learners on their performance and to adjust instruction as needed, prior to administering the IPA. This assessment, its differentiated versions, instructions, and single-point rubrics are on Learning Site®.
In any J’avance assessment, all students complete the same tasks; however, slightly different versions of the tasks are provided.
The labels Bleu, Blanc, and Rouge are used to identify the leveled formative assessments. The Bleu version provides additional supports for students who are currently struggling to apply the expected concepts. The Blanc version is designed for students performing at level. Finally, the Rouge version challenges advanced students with an appropriately rigorous task.
Mon progrès communicatif and Mon progrès interculturel are Can-Do statements13 embedded in the activities, encouraging students to self-assess their level of performance: “I can do this consistently,“ “I can do this with help,” or “This is still a goal.”14 The Can-Do statements were developed both for the communicative and the intercultural goals so that learners can keep track of their own progress. To document their progress, learners use the online Portfolio to upload evidence of their linguistic and intercultural development. Access the Portfolio Guidelines online for details about using the Can-Do statements and the online Portfolio with students.
Understanding their current level of performance allows students to remain sensitive to their needs for either additional support or for extensions, thereby facilitating the use of tiered formative assessments.
12 The IPA was designed by ACTFL to measure learners’ knowledge and skills in simulated “real-world” situations within a cultural context that reflects the content in the thematic unit.
13 The Can-Do statements are Wayside Publishing’s alone and are aligned with the NCSSFL-ACTFL Can-Do Statement Performance Indicators.

Approaches to Teaching and Learning
Rubrics
Analytic Growth Rubrics
Level-specific analytic rubrics15 are informative tools that teachers and learners can use to measure growth on the learner’s path to proficiency for the following communicative modes:
• Interpretive Reading, Listening, and Viewing
• Interpersonal Communication: Speaking and Writing
• Presentational Speaking
• Presentational Writing
Learners are encouraged to self-assess their communicative skills, intercultural growth, and use of strategies that help them progress on their path to proficiency. Teachers are encouraged to meet individually with students to provide specific feedback on their communicative skills and intercultural growth.
Holistic Rubrics
Teachers and learners are encouraged to apply can-do holistic rubrics for daily use and formative assessments.
• Interpretive Reading, Listening, and Viewing: daily comprehension verification and formative assessments
• Interpersonal Communication: classwork, exchange of information, messaging, participation, pair and group work
• Presentational Speaking: reporting or presenting to the class, presenting in a group, oral reflections
• Presentational Writing: reflections, exit slips, short notes, letters, summaries, descriptions, reviews, questions and answers
Formative Assessment Rubrics Available Online
You can use the single-point rubric to provide detailed feedback on what students were able to complete for each Can-Do statement and which areas they could work to improve.
No matter which rubrics you choose to use, make sure that students understand how to work with them.
Integrated Performance Assessment Rubrics
The summative Integrated Performance Assessment Rubrics align with the task components for the unit IPAs. The rubrics describe the level of performance for each communicative task in the three communicative modes: interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational. There are four levels of performance on each rubric, adapted from the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines.16
“Assessment Guidelines” are available in the online teacher resources on Learning Site®, with explanations of the assessment components and instructions on using the online Portfolio and the rubrics in order to attribute a score to a student’s work on an IPA.

Le Québec
À partir de 1534, la France et l’Angleterre commencent à explorer l’Atlantique. La France forme des colonies en Amérique du Nord pour profiter du commerce de la fourrure. Le roi de France, Henri IV, appelle ces colonies la Nouvelle-France.
Samuel de Champlain, géographe français, joue un grand rôle dans l’exploration de l’Amérique du Nord. Il nomme la ville de Québec.
Aujourd’hui, la province du Québec est le plus grand pays du Canada francophone. Le Québec rassemble des peuples autochtones, européens et de toutes parts du monde. On y parle français, anglais et plus de 70 langues autochtones. Les rapports interculturels entre les peuples du Canada et du Québec en particulier se reflètent dans l’art, la littérature et la culture de ce beau pays. Le Québec est une destination touristique prisée.
Nombre de personnes qui parlent français

La France est un pays européen entouré à l’ouest par l’océan Atlantique et au sud par la mer Méditerranée. Elle partage ses frontières avec l’Espagne, Monaco, l’Italie, la Suisse, le Luxembourg, l’Allemagne, l’Andorre et la Belgique.
La France a aussi d’autres territoires :
• les départements et régions d’outre-mer (DROM) : la Guadeloupe, La Réunion, la Martinique, la Guyane et Mayotte
• les collectivités d’outre-mer (COM) : la Polynésie française, Saint-Barthélemy, Saint-Martin, Saint-Pierre-etMiquelon, Wallis-et-Futuna et la Nouvelle-Calédonie les Terres australes et antarctiques françaises (TAAF)

Which sports are most popular where you live? Are these sports played around the world, or just in your geographic area? Why do you think that is?

Le handball is one of the most popular sports in France. It is played in teams of seven, either indoors or outdoors. France’s national women’s and men’s handball teams have both earned medals in the Olympic Games.
Le football, commonly called le foot, is France’s most popular sport. The World Cup, soccer’s most prestigious tournament, is the most widely viewed sporting event in the world. France has won it twice; only three countries have won this title more often. Kylian Mbappé, considered one of the top players in the world, helped France to win the World Cup in 2018 and play strong in the finals in 2022.
France also hosts a number of other major international sports competitions. The world’s greatest cycling event, the Tour de France, is an annual spectacle that originated in 1903. It spans three weeks and over 2,000 miles. The French Open tennis tournament is one of the four major championships in that sport. It is played at the Roland Garros stadium on a clay surface. Two famous French tennis players are René Lacoste, founder of the apparel company that bears his name, and Yannick Noah, who has become a popular singer-songwriter.

Synthèse : Grammaire
1. Expressing Who I Am
The Verb être
In this unit, you have seen three forms of the verb être (to be); all the present tense forms of this verb are given below. singular (one person) plural (two or more people) the speaker je suis nous sommes
the person spoken to tu (informal) es vous (formal or informal) êtes vous (formal)* êtes
the person or people spoken about il est ils sont elle est elles sont
*The versatile subject pronoun vous may refer to either to one person or to several people since it can be found in both the singular and the plural columns in the chart above. Vous when referring to one person, has a formal tone, as opposed to the word tu which is used to address someone informally, such as a family member or a friend. Use vous to refer to a teacher or an adult who is not a family member. Whether singular or plural, formal or informal, the pronoun vous is generally found on the plural side of verb conjugation charts like the one above.
The verb être can be used with adjectives to describe a person’s identity.
Tristan est sérieux.
Tristan is serious.
Soon-Ja est sérieuse. Soon-Ja is serious.

Using Readers to Support Language Acquisition
Using Readers to Support Language Acquisition
This edition of EntreCultures® includes a companion reader, Brandon Brown veut un chien, that is aligned to the goals and content of EntreCultures® 1. On Learning Site®, the reader appears as an additional component along with activities, a glossary, and a Teacher’s Guide with detailed teacher tips and answer keys.
Reading has been shown to have a strong impact on both vocabulary development and the acquisition of language structures. Just as young learners benefit from leveled readers to develop reading skills in their first language, these companion readers provide targeted input of the vocabulary and structures French learners need to progress toward reading authentic literature. Students benefit from stories that are both comprehensible and compelling to them. You can provide additional support by doing the following:

• Pre-teach any needed vocabulary so that the comprehension level is very high while students are reading, especially if they will be reading at home.
• Do pre- and post-reading activities to get students to interact at a deeper level with the content they are learning about in the story.
Readers as Part of Your Curriculum
Here are some suggestions for incorporating readers to enhance student progress toward proficiency. The Teacher’s Guide on Learning Site® contains additional ideas.
• Plan to include the reader at any point in the year. The reader, Brandon Brown veut un chien, was chosen for its simplicity and repetition of basic structures, allowing it to be effectively integrated at almost any point throughout the year. Guide students through the book with in-class reading during the first semester or give them a chance to find success more independently toward the end of the year.
• Set aside time daily/weekly over a set period. Read a little bit each day or on a set day each week until the reader is completed. To keep students’ interest level high, read regularly and avoid long gaps between reading sessions.
• Replace other homework with daily reading. Assign the chapters to be read independently outside of class. Preview the chapter when it is assigned and follow up with comprehension tasks after reading.

For each unit there is an online discussion forum where you and your students can participate in open discussions on the topics presented in the unit.
Encourage students to preview all Can-Do statements for the unit in their Portfolio. You can also review the Portfolio in class to emphasize the importance of uploading evidence for the Can-Do statements. If technology or Internet access is limited, there are printable document versions of the CanDo statements online and in Appendix A of the Student Edition.
While reviewing the Objectifs and the Questions essentielles, encourage students to respond to the following questions:
What are your daily eating habits? Which foods do you prefer? Which foods are typical of the region where you live? What do you imagine the differences may be between your eating customs and those of the francophone world?
Have them list a few questions they could ask a francophone speaker to find out about food preferences.

Scaffold
Objectifs
• Share opinions and habits about food preferences and food purchases
• Interpret photographs, videos, advertisements, infographics, blogs, and menus to understand food choices and culinary customs
• Create a menu based on food preferences and traditions of a francophone country
• Investigate and interact with others about healthy food choices and the problem of hunger in francophone cultures
As students develop their intercultural competencies, they may demonstrate initial reactions to new products, practices, and perspectives on global food habits. As you introduce these new concepts, avoid “othering” these cultural products and practices. Model curiosity and investigation and encourage questions and comparisons to other global food and eating practices.

This section also provides an opportunity for reading comprehension practice by digesting comprehensible French language in context.
Rencontre interculturelle

Prénom : Ariane
Langues parlées : kinyarwanda, kirundi, français, anglais
Ville d’origine : Nyarutarama (Rwanda)
Le Rwanda, en Afrique centrale
Le Rwanda est un pays de l’Afrique de l’Est. Sa capitale est Kigali. Le Rwanda est une ancienne colonie de la Belgique. Le pays est célèbre pour ses belles collines (hills). Il y a beaucoup de volcans et de montagnes. La monnaie du Rwanda s’appelle le franc rwandais (FRw).
Les langues officielles du Rwanda sont le kinyarwanda, le français, l’anglais et le swahili. Le kinyarwanda est la langue parlée par la majorité de la population. Le français et l’anglais sont notamment des langues utilisées dans l’éducation. Les professeurs et les élèves parlent français et anglais à l’école. Le Rwanda est membre de l’Organisation internationale de la Francophonie.


Language
Rwanda has four official languages: Kinyarwanda, French, English, and Swahili. Nearly all Rwandans speak Kinyarwanda. After World War I, Rwanda and its neighboring country Burundi became a province of Belgian Congo. French (one of the languages of Belgium) then became the official language. When Rwanda became an independent nation in 1962, both Kinyarwanda and French were declared official languages. Rwanda joined the East African Community (EAC), an intergovernmental organization, in 2007. The EAC had three official languages: Swahili, English, and French. Membership in the EAC led to the addition of Swahili and English as the third and fourth official languages of Rwanda.
Challenge
Ask students to investigate the meanings of the colors and symbols of Rwanda’s flag and flags from the previous countries in the Rencontres interculturelles

Directions from now on are in French in the vous form, even though some activities will need to be completed by students working alone. Remind students that vous is used when addressing an individual person of authority or an elder, but also when addressing a group of people. When used in the vous form, most verbs end in -ez, making this form easy for students to recognize.

9 Le marché en Afrique
9.1 Connexions o c
How is the daily life of a people reflected in the way food is bought, sold, and consumed?
Outdoor food markets continue to play an essential role in providing daily food supplies throughout Rwanda. Whether it is a onceor twice-weekly market in smaller towns or in the permanent markets in the capital of Kigali, such as the Kimironko market, Rwandans rely on these bustling centers of food supplies for their culinary needs. Some of the frequently purchased items at Rwandan markets include les patates douces (sweet potatoes), les bananes plantains (plantains), les haricots (beans), and les œufs (eggs). These markets are quite busy since the majority of Rwandans prepare and eat most meals at home. Although dining out is an uncommon practice in most of the country, it is no longer a rarity in the capital city of Kigali, where there is an increasing number of restaurants and bakeries.


Umuganura is a festive holiday that celebrates the harvest and has similarities to Thanksgiving. Umuganura means first-fruits festival. Families and communities gather to enjoy the staple foods of the harvest, which is very meaningful to the social and economic life of Rwandans. Beans, sorghum paste with pumpkins, and traditional greens are a few of the foods typically enjoyed on this day of national unity.

Zoom culture
Each Zoom culture focuses on a cultural product (produit) or practice (pratique) and invites students to develop insights into underlying perspectives (perspectives) in the francophone world and in their own culture. Products are tangible and intangible items—such as books, food, laws, music, and games— required or justified by the underlying values and beliefs of a culture. Practices are patterns of social interactions or behaviors, such as greetings, holidays, events, and daily schedules. Perspectives are the values, attitudes, and ideas of a culture. Before students read the Zoom culture selections in the unit, use the Connexions questions to have them reflect on this product, practice, or perspective in their own culture. Then have them read the information in the section before responding to the Perspectives questions. Students should complete both the Connexions and Perspectives questions in the discussion forum, as they will use English for their responses.

Different forms are used according to the gender of the noun. Du is used before masculine singular nouns; de la is used before feminine singular nouns; de l’ is used before singular nouns beginning with a vowel; and des is used before plural nouns regardless of gender.

Challenge
When ordering a drink at a café or restaurant, you would generally use the indefinite article (un, or une) since you are ordering one drink, but at home, when the drink is often poured out of a larger bottle or other container, the partitive article (du, de la, and de l’) is used. Explain that des is used to express the plural form of the partitive, no matter the gender of the noun.

Although French does use partitive articles, Spanish does not. This construction will not be fully internalized by students to begin with. Model frequent use with pictures, recipes, and graphics to support comprehension. Although this is an important concept to present with food, students may not reproduce it with accuracy until Novice High or even Intermediate Low levels.

Détail linguistique
L’entrée
Both French- and English-language menus use the word entrée, but for different items. On a French menu, entrée refers to the course that precedes the main dish (which is from the verb entrer, meaning to enter). On an English-language menu in North America, entrée refers to the main course. The main course on a French-language menu, however, is le plat principal. In French, the term for a menu is une carte, while un menu refers to a fixed-price meal with specific options for each course.

Language
The list of items contains nouns accompanied by articles, which is how they have been presented in this unit. However, articles are seldom included on French-language menus. Call students’ attention to this fact as they prepare their menus. For an example, refer them to the Comment dit-on ? of Communiquons 2.
Let students know that the word entrée also refers to an entrance. In francophone cultures, this word is visible on or near a door leading into a business or store.

Zoom culture
Each Zoom culture focuses on a cultural product (produit) or practice (pratique) and invites students to develop insights into underlying perspectives (perspectives) in the francophone world and in their own culture. Products are tangible and intangible items—such as books, food, laws, music, and games— required or justified by the underlying values and beliefs of a culture. Practices are patterns of social interactions or behaviors, such as greetings, holidays, events, and daily schedules. Perspectives are the values, attitudes, and ideas of a culture.
Before students read the Zoom culture selections in the unit, use the Connexions questions to have them reflect on this product, practice, or perspective in their own culture. Then have them read the information in the section before responding to the Perspectives questions. To minimize the use of English during class, have students read silently and respond for homework. Students should complete both the Connexions and Perspectives questions in the discussion forum, as they will use English for their responses.

As a follow up to 22.1, explore the practices of eating times in your school or community. Ask students to question at least five adults and children about their meal times. Students can note any additional biographical information about the people they asked (age, background, number of meals, etc.). Create a circle, dot, or bar graph that displays the results. What are commonalities or differences that students notice? Provide students sentence frames that allow them to present their findings with comprehensible language at their level. Share this information with another class, another school in your area, or with a school correspondent.

Breakfast in France tends to be a simple meal of freshly baked bread or a croissant, accompanied by juice, coffee, or hot chocolate. The French have long embraced an extended lunchtime, lasting as long as two hours and often the most substantial meal of the day. Dinner rituals in France may be quite different from your own. In most French restaurants, on the check brought to you by your server at the end of the meal, you will find the expression service compris, which means that the tip is included in the price of the food. It is still customary to leave a small gratuity. There are two ways to order from a French menu: à la carte, where each item is priced individually, and un menu or une formule, where the restaurant offers a fixed-price meal including an array of dishes selected by the restaurant for a specific number of courses.
As in France, breakfast in Rwanda is generally a simple meal consumed early in the morning, since the workday and many schools in Rwanda begin early in the morning. Sweet potatoes and porridge are a popular breakfast option. Lunch and dinner tend to be more abundant, with dinner as the principal meal. Matoke is a popular dish that is made of boiled and mashed green plantains. Between meals, Rwandans often snack on tropical fruits, such as avocados, bananas, mangoes, pineapple, and papaya. Roadside vendors in urban areas sell roasted corn and barbecued meat. Restaurant dining is not a frequent custom for many Rwandans; tipping after a meal is not customary but is appreciated.

Pre-reading activities are a good strategy for stronger comprehension and grammar internalization. Before completing 33.1, ask students to use highlighters or colored pencils to mark the email to identify cognate words (English, Spanish), partitive articles, and singular verbs.
AP® Strategies
The AP®-style conversation in 33.2 has 15-second pauses for student responses. At this point, students may leave a lot of blank time before the next recorded utterance. Coach them through this process and encourage them to fill as much time as possible. As they progress, it should become less challenging for students to fill the time provided. The pause will grow to 20 seconds in Unité 5.

Scaffold
Before 35, remind students that they have learned how to use verbs ending in -er. They should therefore know how to use cuisiner, déguster, gaspiller, and recycler since these are all regular -er verbs. If some students need to review how to use verbs ending in -er, you can refer them back to Unité 2, Découvrons 3.

Zoom culture
Each Zoom culture focuses on a cultural product (produit) or practice (pratique) and invites students to develop insights into underlying perspectives (perspectives) in the francophone world and in their own culture. Products are tangible and intangible items—such as books, food, laws, music, and games— required or justified by the underlying values and beliefs of a culture. Practices are patterns of social interactions or behaviors, such as greetings, holidays, events, and daily schedules. Perspectives are the values, attitudes, and ideas of a culture. Before students read the Zoom culture selections in the unit, use the Connexions questions to have them reflect on this product or practice in their own culture. Then have them read the information in the section before responding to the Perspectives questions. To minimize the use of English during class, have students read silently and respond for homework. Students should complete both the Connexions and Perspectives questions in the discussion forum, as they will use English for their responses.

36 Le gaspillage alimentaire
36.1 Connexions o c
How are francophone countries dealing with the problem of wasting food, and what is the effect of this phenomenon on the people of those countries?
France has taken the lead in setting an example for the rest of the world after studies showed the amount of food and, consequently, money being wasted each year. In the next five years, the government is expecting to have reduced food waste by 50 percent from the previous ten years.
France became the first country in the world to prohibit supermarkets from throwing away unused food, requiring them to donate them or face a fine. Other policies require schools to teach students about food sustainability, companies to report food waste statistics, and restaurants to make takeout bags available.

48.1 Faites des recherches b c
Nutri-Score is a tool invented in France to provide a simplified nutritional indicator on foods. It is now used in several European countries including Belgium and Switzerland, in addition to France. Working with your group, spend some time researching what constitutes each of the scores (A, B, C, D, and E) and how these scores are calculated.

50 Agir contre la faim
Hunger is a devastating problem in many regions and parts of our world. It can touch entire countries or specific regions or populations of nations that are considered wealthy. Access to drinking water can also be a primary source of this problem. In an effort to help your community and others, you will research how to get involved in hunger relief efforts.
50.1 Envoyez un e-mail w p
Select a francophone hunger relief organization and write a message to inquire about their effort and practices to fight hunger in the world. Here are suggested items to include in your email:
• your name
• the name of your school
• the fact that you are a French student
• questions to find out what they do
• questions about what foods or drinks are typically needed
• questions to find out how you can get involved in your community or abroad (avoir envie d’aider…)
Mon progrès interculturel h
Interact: I can interact in French to seek information about ways to support my community or other communities.
50.2 Organisez une collecte w
Once you receive a response from the relief organization, work with your group to organize a fundraiser (une collecte) at your school and in your community to help your own community. Use information learned from the response you received in 50.1 to plan for what foods and drinks you will need to collect. To promote your fundraiser, create advertisements that include the following:
• a creative name for the fundraiser;
• the date(s);
• a drop-off location;
• the items and quantities needed; and
• the name of the francophone relief organization that you are supporting and that has inspired you.
AP® Strategies
For 50.1, responding to an email is an important skill for working in the interpersonal mode on the AP® Language and Culture exam. Writing an initial message (instead of responding to one) is a good way to practice this skill. Students should read through the information given for ideas to plan their response before writing.

Before students create their advertisements, it is very important to plan out the details involved with having a fundraiser, such as how the advertisements will be shared, who will be in charge of collecting donations, where these will be stored, where the donations should be shipped to and how they can be sent to the selected relief organization. Be sure to plan out all of these aspects with your students, not only so they have the information they’ll need to create their advertisements, but also so they understand the responsibility involved with such a project.

Synthèse : Grammaire
1. Expressing Quantity of Foods
Partitive Articles
You have already learned how to use definite articles (le, la, les) to refer to things in general or as a whole. You also understand the use of indefinite articles (un, une) and how they can refer to something in its entirety. The article partitif allows us to refer to some or a part of something.
En général, j’aime le poulet. Mon ami mange une banane. Pour le dîner, j’aime manger du poulet.
le poulet = all chicken une banane = entire banana du poulet = some/a portion of chicken
masculine du Mon frère prend du gâteau. feminine de la Ariane mange de la tarte aux pommes. starts with a vowel de l’ Ma cousine boit de l’eau minérale.
plural des Je mange des pâtes.
after a negation de Ma mère ne mange jamais de viande. Elle ne mange pas de pommes de terre.
Language
Support students’ comprehension of partitif by creating a series of pictures that show a part and and whole of a variety of foods. Ask students if they want to eat du gâteau or un gâteau? De la tarte or une tarte? Du bœuf or un bœuf? Du poulet or un poulet? De la pastèque or une pastèque? Etc.
See the Instructional Strategies Toolkit entitled “Line Ups” for a review activity with negative sentence structure. Refer to the Learning Site for extra practice, activities, and resources for these grammar concepts.
2. Expressing What You Eat and Drink
Manger, choisir, prendre, boire and -ir Verbs
Several verbs in French are used to express food consumption: manger (to eat), prendre (to have) and boire (to drink) manger choisir
je mange nous mangeons je choisis nous choisissons tu manges vous mangez tu choisis vous choisissez
il/elle/on mange ils/elles mangent il/elle/on choisit
prendre boire
ils/elles choisissent
je prends nous prenons je bois nous buvons tu prends vous prenez tu bois vous buvez
il/elle/on prend ils/elles prennent il/elle/on boit
Pour le petit déjeuner, mon père prend du pain et il boit du jus d’orange.
3. Negating Statements
ils/elles boivent
For breakfast, my dad has bread and drinks orange juice.
Negation With ne...pas, ne...plus, and ne...jamais
To make a verb negative, put ne (n’) before the verb and pas after it. affirmative negative
one verb Je regarde la carte. Je ne regarde pas la carte.
two verbs Ma cousine aime manger au restaurant. Ma cousine n’aime pas manger au restaurant.
In a negative sentence, the partitive article becomes de (d’).
Avec mon dîner, je mange des légumes. Avec mon dîner, je ne mange pas de légumes.
Two other negative expressions are ne...plus (no more, no longer) and ne... jamais (never).
Au restaurant, je ne prends jamais de dessert.
At a restaurant, I never have dessert.
Language
Explain to students that for verbs that end in -ger (such as manger and partager), the nous form requires the letter e after the g to create the same soft sound that is present in the other forms. For more discussion on hard and soft g sounds, see the Prononciation video from Unité 2.

Point out that the singular and plural forms of the word œuf differ in pronunciation in two ways. The singular has the same vowel sound as the familiar word sœur and the f is pronounced. The plural, œufs, has a smaller vowel, which is the same as that in the familiar word deux and the f is not pronounced. Also point out that the article l’ pluralizes in the same way as the articles le and la, with the plural article les. There is a liaison made when pronouncing les œufs.
