Publisher's Synopsis
Réseau: Communication, Intégration, Intersections, 2nd Edition, conceives of learning French as a holistic endeavor, not only in terms of language skills - speaking, listening, reading, and writing - but also of cultural knowledge in the broadest sense. Based on the belief that knowledge of a second language and culture necessarily brings about a greater understanding of not only the world in an increasingly global context but also of the individual self, the content and activities in Réseau offer you the opportunity to reflect on the differences between your own culture, French culture, and Francophone cultures and to experiment with the new identities that so many researchers suggest language learning can encourage.
