The 3-level Discovering French video series is a visual and cultural reinforcement of the pedagogy that has proven to be one of the most successful and effective methods of language learning. Two weeks of location production in Paris and an additional four weeks of location production in Avignon, Aix-en-Provence, and Marseilles provided the locations, cast, and cultural context for the dramatic and documentary production. Stock footage of people and events from throughout the Francophone world formed the basis for cultural segments to further support the instructional methodology. Level 3 included dramatics and documentaries that covered a variety of topics including Impressionism, Médecins Sans Frontières, and Cadien culture in Louisiana. The 5-hour finished program is distributed on VHS and DVD.
