Initiation of The Chiclayo French Alliance to new learning tools for French language

iThèque is happy to offer a catalogue of cultural works based on a numerical loan. We would like to thank warmly Mr. Luis Mendoza, Director, and the teachers of French as a foreign language, and the trainers for their role in facilitating the use of this service by the students.

The catalogue is to be used for:
- completing the Mediatheque, Videotheque and Audiotheque physical catalogues
- develop the organization’s efforts
- offer the students a teaching service of both quality and efficiency
- support self-apprenticeship of the language and of communication
- offer a tool at the Information and Communication Technology level (ICT)
- integrate the ICTs in the learning of French as a Foreign Language (FFL).

iThèque numerical library together with its pedagogical partners offer a lot of cultural works with many products to animate a classroom: audio and electronic books, music, videos and games on the culture of Quebec and France through monographs and themes.

iThèque promotes oral competency through new teaching practices at school. The platform also answers the new approaches to didactic FFL. Training will benefit from these new resources and will adapt them to the proper students.

Teachers will be able to use in class an interactive device allowing projections on a computer screen which has an undeniable impact on the apprenticeship. Such a projection increases the students participation in a classroom and also their motivation and desire to learn. Through this method, animation techniques can be controlled and the participants’ imagination developed, facilitating the exchange between the teacher and his students.

iThèque proposes an instrument to practice and improve the French Evaluation Test (FET) at the exam level, verifying the communication competence, would it be written or oral French in different life situations. It is a plus for all the ones who are interested in the French international world communication.

In the ICT integration for the learning of FFL, access to iThèque as a designer of learning contents represents a very advantageous tool for the students who are motivated to continue exploring and learning a foreign language and become integrated in that culture. The French culture universe, one of the first known world-wide, is now available through iThèque’s creativity and broadcasting of many sites.

Come and discover Quebec through its various facets and photos taken by many artists.

IThèque gives a very warm welcome to the University Women of the Sacred Heart-UNIFE of the city of Lima, Peru. This organization is the first Latin American university within our subscribers, which has decided to subscribe to the service to offer the catalog iThèque to members of the library's Program Translation and Interpretation.

The involvement of this institution is very important because it offers its students a catalog consisting of electronic books (ebooks), audio books, videos, music and more in French and English language. This additional service is essential to the self-learning of language through reading and listening to audio books. The goal is to train competent professionals in Translation and Interpretation Program, ensuring that their students have a communicative competence-speech, translation and interpretation in three languages: Spanish, English and French.

IThèque proposes a great quantity of audio books which are being more and more popular around the. Within the wide variety of ebooks and audio books we have: novels, short stories, classical novels, health, spirituality, business, poetry, biographies, social sciences, and so on.
