Skier l'Internet avec French in Action

WELCOME VISITORS! PARTS OF THIS SITE ARE STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

• The "discovery and conquest " of the Internet and its application to the teaching of foreign languages and cultures created some very serious pedagogical problems.
• The interest in Instructional Technology appeared on the horizon at a moment when theorists of foreign language acquisition were promoting notions of "proficiency-oriented" and "interactive" teaching for cross-cultural communication.
• The digital realms of the Internet, the WWW, CD-ROM should immerse students in "task-driven" cultural studies.
• This field of expansion has presented a dilemma to foreign language teachers, who have had to face the issue of proper contextualization of these activities.
• Digital technologies can promote a more student-focus environment only if the teacher examines what is happening in the classroom before the addition of the use of any of the computer technologies.
• The World Wide Web as properly applied in this effort provides quick and unrestricted access to authentic materials, in the form of text, sounds and images.
