What\u2019s new other than the language?<\/strong><\/h2>\nThe French Cohort lessons have all the things you love most about Cohorts: authentic sources, professionally relevant topics, level-appropriate comprehension questions, key vocabulary, etc.<\/p>\n
Based on feedback from the sustainment community, we\u2019ve also upgraded the original lesson design, including:<\/p>\n
\n- Reading and listening lessons<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
To provide equal focus on the two modalities you need most, half of the French lessons will be listening lessons focused on authentic audio sources and half will be reading lessons focused on authentic texts.<\/p>\n
\n- Flexible learning activities<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Survey feedback said you want to switch things up a bit each week, and we do too. Learning activities within each lesson will now vary from week to week according to the lesson\u2019s focus (reading vs. listening) and topic.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n- Optimal lesson length<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Your study time is limited and precious. Based on survey feedback, the lessons have been shortened from 16 to 12 activities to make the most of that time. Focus on the specific knowledge and skills you need most without having to sit through or skip activities you don\u2019t.<\/p>\n
