"Variations francophones, the 12 video-clips and their teaching cards, evoke the various realities of French speakers across Canada whose identities are modulated as much by the culture, the history, the territory as the climate. The teaching cards enable teachers to guide their pupils' discovery of the richness and the diversity of the Canadian francophonie. They will also help students develop oral competence and in particular their receptive language skills. The video-clips are appropriate for students enrolled in francophone schools within a minority context, as well as students enrolled in French second language, intensive French and French immersion courses who work at an intermediate to advanced linguistic level. Indeed, listening to the video-clips will enable students to better understand the various characteristics of French spoken in different locations of Canada as well as the various linguistic registers used."
