Category Description for Assimil Language Learning Method

The Assimil Language Learning Method makes learning foreign languages intuitive, just like how children learn their native language. This is the most modern of our foreign lan­guage programs and is popularly used in Europe to teach a variety of languages, including English. Because of this, Assimil contains important contemporary cultural references and vocabulary. This makes the program particularly relatable and useful to students in middle and high school.

The Student Texts are small for­mat and show the target language on the left page and the same content in English on the right page. By constantly seeing words and phrases in both languages, you pick up the new language quickly and easily. The Super Pack contains one text with 100 lessons, 186 exercises, answer key, dual-language glossary, and grammar summary with audio either on USB flash drive, 3-4 audio CDs, or both.

In the first part of the Assimil course, students will absorb the language and its sounds during daily lessons that last between 30-40 minutes. This phase consists primarily of reading, listening, and repeating, followed by the completion of review exercises. Every 7 lessons, revision lessons recap what has been learned in the previous 6 lessons. This helps solidify knowledge. 

The second part of the program progresses more quickly, applying familiar structures to expand fluency by forming sentences and reproducing statements. Self-assessments are part of the text and review of concepts learned in the first phase if desired. Parents do not have to administer or grade any exams. The dialogues are fun, lively, and sometimes funny, making them generally just enjoyable to review. 

The Super Packs are an excellent option for a middle school student to try out a language. They can determine which one to study for high school credits. Paired with the workbooks, it would qualify for a full year of high school language credit.
