Jansma/Kassen/Denie-Higney’s ATELIER, 2e, is designed to introduce all new content online. Guided by the unique MindTap 5-step learning path, students navigate complex concepts to build an understanding of French. Thematic units provide context for vocabulary and grammar. Vocabulary is presented through interactive photo displays, while Jérémie, an animated grammar teacher, uses the "walls of Paris" as a graffiti canvas to illustrate the relevance of grammar structures. “Les copains” episodes feature three friends engaging in conversations that portray how French speakers navigate functional language. Students come to class prepared to converse, with the accompanying manual. Sequenced communicative activities start with input-based interactions, progress to guided practice, and culminate in open-ended communication. Atelier is useful in online, hybrid, flipped or in-person formats.
