Overview

Imaginez is designed to engage students actively as they build their language skills and broaden their understanding of the diverse cultures of the francophone world. Through the integration of authentic short-subject films that tie together culture, literature, and grammar, students embark on a unique and rewarding learning experience that will prepare them to interact and communicate in French in real-life contexts. Imaginez is appropriate for high school students taking French Level 4 and higher. Imaginez also includes:

  • The Galerie de créateurs that spotlights important cultural figures
  • Colorful, easy-to-understand charts and diagrams that highlight key grammatical structures and related vocabulary
  • The Fiches de grammaire, grammar reference located at the end of the textbook,  that builds on concepts introduced within each lesson and provides additional concepts for review or enrichment
