Internautique

From a truly pioneering effort to create an almost entirely web-based university course (in 1996!) Le francais internautique continues to grow and mature. Le Francais Internautique is an on-line web based Intermediate French grammar text and workbook currently used by about 200 undergraduates enrolled in a second-year French course. The program is composed of twelve units where each contains a grammar lesson, video, a listening comprehension component, interactive exercises, and a test. The grammar of each lesson is illustrated with sound files for pronunciation purposes. Drills and exercises with a feedback mechanism offer ample opportunity for practice. Short streaming digitized video clips elicit students' open-ended responses for a more creative use of the language. Students can post questions to the Virtual Tutor, a discussion forum, and receive feedback from an instructor for all to see.

The back end of this testing program builds student user portfolios, recording the input on the practice test, the actual tests and their grades. Internautique and its online testing component require passwords for access.

Le Français Internautique was written by Janine Spencer in conjunction with the Multimedia Learning Center.
