Deux mondes, 8th edition, offers a natural approach to language learning that fosters communicative and cultural competence in the  introductory French class, while responding to the changing needs of students and instructors providing digital resources to support them.

The Deux mondes program is built around the following principles:
Emphasizing cultural competency and authentic contexts 
Fostering community through group work 
Focusing on communication rather than form Creating a low-anxiety environment 

Firmly grounded in research on second-language learning, the 8th edition of Deux mondes supports the ACTFL  National Standards, as outlined in the five "C" goal areas - Communication, Cultures, Connections, Comparisons, and Communities - of the World- Readiness Standards for Learning Languages, and  provides a strong foundation for meeting those  standards.
