Instructor Information

Quick Actions (Only for Validated Instructor Accounts):

Deux mondes offers a natural approach to language learning that fosters communicative and cultural competence in the introductory French class, while responding to the changing needs of students and instructors by providing digital resources to support them. The Deux mondes program is built around the following principles:

  • Focusing on communication rather than form
  • Emphasizing cultural competency and authentic contexts
  • Fostering community through group work
  • Creating a low-anxiety environment

Firmly grounded in research on second-language learning, Deux mondes supports the ACTFL National Standards, as outlined in the five "C" goal areas (Communication, Cultures, Connections, Comparisons, and Communities) of the World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages, and provides a strong foundation for meeting those standards.
