AVIS DES ARTISTES was developed to help intermediate and advanced students improve their oral comprehension skills. A sequence of audio and video selections provides the basis for comprehension exercises of increasing difficulty. Students using the AVIS DES ARTISTES series are exposed to a broad range of vocabulary and delightful aspects of French culture in the context of challenging oral comprehension exercises. The online format of the AVIS DES ARTISTES exercises allows students individual control of their listening and viewing experience. For immediate reinforcement, answers sets for each exercise may be viewed by clicking a button. The first few exercises require no more than recognition of key words. As the exercises increase in complexity, they require more extended and subtle listening skills, paraphrasing and summarizing of information presented in the source documents.
