Enhance Learning with Contextual Video
Espaces integrates rich, authentic video to deepen language and cultural learning. Students follow the 2024 Silver Telly award-winning Roman-photo storyline, explore current events through Le Zapping (two brand-new videos included in this edition), and experience daily life in francophone communities with Flash Culture segments.
These video resources build vocabulary and grammar in context, while giving instructors flexible tools to support real-world communication.

Build Literacy Through Strategy
Espaces systematically develops reading and writing skills through a structured, strategy-based approach. Cultural and literary readings tied to the unit's theme include pre- and post-reading tasks that support comprehension and cultural reflection.
Writing tasks follow a process approach, with guided steps for planning, drafting, and revising. Students build confidence and independence, while instructors have a consistent framework for skill development and feedback.
Connect Culture Experiences to Learning
Espaces offers a rich, contemporary cultural experience through Espace Culture and newly updated content in the Panorama and Lecture Culturelle sections. Students engage with authentic texts, statistics, visuals, and regional profiles from the francophone world.
Real-life communicative objectives and I CAN statements frame learning, while cultural readings and everyday language build global awareness and help provide relevance.
