C'est la (seconde) vie!: Using Second Life to
Teach French Literature & Culture

Awardee: Tom Armbrecht
Team Members: Blaire Bundy, Cid Freitag, Dan Lavalley, Doug Worsham, Jasun Carr
Department: French and Italian

I will use my Phase III award to design scavenger-hunt and role-playing activities within Second Life that will improve students' oral and written communication in French. My goal is to facilitate interaction with authentic, albeit virtual, French speakers to develop student language skills, to form international friendships, and to teach key concepts about French culture and literature.
