Description: This comprehensive resource package is the second level of the three-level Communi-Quête series and offers a communicative approach to French language learning. Level Two consists of six themes per grade level available in a student hard cover text, or in separate thematic modules. Each theme includes a full-colour student book or soft cover magazine format, the student workbook, which is also available in reproducible master format, listening activities/music CD, teacher resource book, language and strategy card pack, and video. There is consistency among the various components and options, and adaptations for different learning styles are numerous. Social skills are promoted and there are opportunities for student portfolio development skills. The lessons that lead to the final task address the four skills plus representing and viewing. Cooperative learning strategies are used and decision making is supported. Of the six themes, four can be implemented in a flexible order. It is recommended that En route vers la Francophonie be used as the introductory model to begin the year and  a brosse be used as the b1swrap-upb2s module to conclude the year. The videos are a strong component of this program. The use of viewing strategies are reinforced by means of strong pre-, during-, and post-viewing activities.
