Quick Navigation

Overview

Today's leading digital platform, MindTap for Tufts/Jarausch's Sur le vif: Niveau intermédiaire, 7th Edition, gives you complete control of your course to create unique learning experiences to build confidence and foster critical thinking skills.

MindTap introduces students to core grammar, vocabulary, and cultural concepts from the beginning of your course using a simplified learning path that progresses from understanding to application. MindTap presents concepts using a blend of engaging narrative and media while minimizing distraction with assignments that pair learning content with assessments in a visually appealing side-by-side format.

Through a wealth of activities written to learning outcomes, it provides students with ample opportunities to check themselves for understanding, while also providing faculty and students alike with a clear way to measure and assess student progress. A groundbreaking mobile app experience enables greater flexibility for students to fit learning into their day, wherever they are.

MindTap provides vocabulary and grammar review along with new material for each chapter through numerous auto and manually-graded activities to help you check your comprehension and acquisition before being asked to work with the same material in class. The readings and cultural notes were selected to provoke curiosity about the French-speaking world. Songs, videos, and expanded activities for listening practice will all enhance a student's ability to comprehend spoken French and to be easily understood when you engage in conversation with native speakers of the language.

As an instructor, MindTap is here to simplify your workload, organize, and immediately grade your students' assignments, and allow you to customize your course as you see fit. Through deep-seated integration with your Learning Management System, grades are easily exported. MindTap is available on its own or for use in conjunction with the printed text.
