This project invovles the design and production of a multimedia inter-active all-French grammar for intermediate and advanced students that will be usable by the University community. Targeted primarily at third-year-and-above students, grammar lessons will be organized in approximately fifty modules easily absorbed in one-hour sessions or less. In addition to clearly presenting rules of French grammar, each lesson will include multiple illustrations of proper usage in the form of fuly developed sentences, sets of inter-active practice exercises, short sample texts guiding users toward understanding the syntactical articulations of French expository prose, exercises leading beyond sentence production and toward the essay form, and images and sound clips.
