Panorama Francophone is a series designed for students of the ab initio French course for the IB Language B programme. Currently many IB students use materials that are designed for much younger learners, which are not motivating and do not adequately account for their intellectual level. Panorama francophone is an age-appropriate series and requires students to think and reflect at a level that is suitable for an IB Diploma student. Panorama francophone has a strong emphasis on developing intercultural understanding. The emphasis is on French as a world language, with francophone culture taking a central role. All the key IB texts and themes are covered across the two books. The content is designed to engage learners between 16 and 18 years of age. All elements of the examination are covered across the two books. Audio exercises are built into each unit too and all of the language is taught and practised in context, which means that ToK and CAS are integrated into the learning process - the audio files for these exercises are included with the teacher's packs.
