Très chic! French Language and Culture with un clic

Abstract

“Linguistic relativism” leads people of different cultures to define, explain, and even see reality in images framed by their diverse languages. The most readily available and commonly used online educational materials are often scaffolded in Americanocentric course management and learning management systems, however; these render subject matter design and delivery, as well as assignment formulation, scheduling, and grading, difficult for educators hoping to imbue their materials with the atypical, alternative view of reality. Resolutions to these problems must be conceived if education is to proceed smoothly and effectively in a culturally diverse world.
