Jules et Jim Interactif DVD-ROM : An Interactive Film Companion to Your French Program

"A fully interactive and complete program to teach grammar and culture from one of the best French films ever made." "A great product that would integrate the "Five C?s" during the instructional process and assist students in implicitly achieving proficiency in the French language." "A great movie is used to serve as the main source of language input. Students are asked to listen, repeat, analyze what is being said and how it is being said. Students can work at their own pace, can practice over their listening skills and oral skills. Situations in this movie can serve as a starting point for discussion, anticipation, writing assignment." "Finally a cinema-based intermediate/high level product that combines culture, emphasis on oral skills and grammar review." "This application of technology has significant potential to increase French language proficiency in a highly appropriate and contextualized format. It will simultaneously serve as an introduction to French film as an artistic and cultural phenomenon." "A great product that would integrate the "Five C's" during the instructional process and assist students in implicitly achieving proficiency in the French language."

The "Jules ET Jim Interactif DVD-Rom" combines the learning model of a video-based language curriculum with the power of interactivity, making this French language program appropriate for any student of French. Within the DVD, you can play selections of the classic film and simultaneously view the written script while watching the films and hearing the words spoken. In addition, you can replay the dialog utterance by utterance in order to understand it in the context of the film's actions, and practice your French by replacing an actor in the scene with your own reading of the dialog and comparing the results to the original version.
