S-12 C O M P O N E N T S IAE-16 Chat Activities Video Virtual Chat activities provide you with opportunities to develop your listening and speaking skills and to build confidence as you practice with video recordings of native speakers. Unlike other listening activities where students can easily pause and repeat, Video Virtual Chats require you to answer questions in real time—just as you’ll do when you engage in conversations with fluent speakers in the target language. You’ll also benefit from nonverbal and articulatory cues that are essential for production and pronunciation. Partner Chat activities enable students to work in pairs to synchronously record a conversation in the target language to complete a specific activity. This collaboration facilitates spontaneous and creative communication in a safe environment. Chats are available in the Contextes , Structures , and Synthèse: Révision strands.

Each interactive video contains an integrated viewing activity that checks comprehension and prepares you for deeper reflection.
