The Comprehensible Classroom | Empreintes 1

The Empreintes Growing Bundle is a proficiency‑based intermediate French curriculum adapted from the successful Huellas Spanish curriculum. Designed for upper‑level French learners, this curriculum provides strong scaffolding for productive language skills while grounding instruction in high‑interest, globally relevant themes that motivate students to communicate with purpose.

Empreintes is built on comprehensible input, meaningful communication, and proficiency‑based assessment. Inspired by AP themes, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and ACTFL proficiency guidelines, these units integrate language development with cultural studies, music, authentic texts, and real‑world issues. The result is a flexible curriculum that maximizes instructional impact while minimizing teacher planning.

This is a growing bundle. When you purchase the Empreintes Growing Bundle, you receive immediate access to all currently published units plus every future unit added to the curriculum at no additional cost. The adaptation is ongoing and moves at a realistic pace, as the curriculum is created by full‑time classroom teachers. Buying now locks in the introductory bundle price and guarantees access to the complete Empreintes curriculum as it expands.

Currently, 8 of 30 planned units are included in this growing bundle.
