Combining video, audio, and textual materials, this comprehensive language immersion unit invites learners to leave the tourist attractions behind and experience France as the French do. Whether they are watching a pétanque game in the Bois de Boulogne, observing life in a Trappist monastery, or looking over the shoulder of a sales manager at a biscuit factory, students will glimpse a distinctly different side of la belle France. For best results, the entire Ouverture package—three videos and three corresponding study packs—is recommended. Especially effective for intermediate and advanced language students. French, 6-part series.
