The French Teacher's Wish List
Hover over or tap a wish to see how the IC ROADMAP grants it.
You’re a professional, not a tutor. With the IC ROADMAP, your students do the exploring. You simply facilitate and assess. Follow the 1-2-3 Easy Steps: every stop comes pre-planned, with ready-made projects, rubrics and student self-trackers built in.
Explore the IC ROADMAP →Spontaneous speaking skits, IC PARLONS chat mats, IC CONVO CARDS, over 300 class starter videos, and real-life tasks get students talking in French from the first minute of class.
See the Blue stops →Each stop comes with action-oriented tools for exploring language conventions in context. The Red stops dive even deeper, teaching specific grammar through stories, challenges, tasks and songs that students sing all week long and for years to come.
See the Red stops →Every stop has leveled tasks from Pre-A1 to B2, so everyone works on the same stop, each at their own level and pace.
How the IC ROADMAP works →Your pre-made I CAN statements double as ready-to-use report card comments. Dozens to choose from at each stop.
How the IC ROADMAP works →Action-oriented songs, games, Friday French Funnies, live concerts, online events and more make French the class students look forward to. The real fun? Watching their confidence in French grow.
See the Yellow stops →Purposeful listening challenges and authentic tasks bring students voices from around the French-speaking world, not just yours. Students show what they understand, then use it as a springboard into speaking and writing.
See the Red stops →IC Readers, diverse stories, plus 29 reading strategies from the Readers’ Playbook turn reading into a hands-on experience. Students see themselves in the images and storylines: inclusive reading at its best.
See the Blue stops →Leveled writing tasks build from Pre-A1 menus, order forms, maps and registration forms all the way to B2 essays and final projects.
See the Blue stops →The IC ROADMAP is a CEFR-based journey from Pre-A1 through B2. At every grade and level, students are always building toward the DELF, so they’re ready whenever exam day comes.
How the IC ROADMAP works →From IC ROADMAP tasks, stories and songs to live concerts with ÉTIENNE and DJ DELF, authentic experiences get students excited to choose French. Some schools across the globe have even doubled their French enrolment on the IC ROADMAP.
See concerts →Challenges, games and music get students out of their seats and into French. As Diana T. from Toronto says: “The bell rings and my Grade 8 students complain, ‘Is French class over already?’”
See the Red stops →French Missions and real-life tasks give every student a reason to try. No more “Why do we have to learn French?”
See the Red stops →Routines and embedded SEL strategies from the Rock Your Class book build a class where students respect each other and the language.
How the IC ROADMAP works →Every stop lives on its own forever-access digital platform. Project it, share it, or print only what you need.
How the IC ROADMAP works →Curriculum- and CEFR-aligned plans with I CAN tracking give you clear evidence of planning and student growth. The action-oriented tasks and challenges (like the Skittles Activity) support your standing as a teacher-rockstar in the eyes of admin.
How the IC ROADMAP works →A visual, transparent roadmap and I CAN progress you can share show exactly where students are going, backed by proficiency growth you can see week after week.

— French teacher, HDSB PD (Apr 2025)

FLEXIBILITY
"It's like you're giving us molding clay that's been molded into something, but it's flexible enough that I can rechange it."
Gr.4-8 FSL teacher, WECDSB
-
DIVERSITY
"Truly a univeral design to learning with many "on ramps." My class of 32 includes students with mild intellectual disabilities and ESL. This would have scared me in the past but today this resource is my fabulous teaching partner!"
Gr. 8 Teacher, TDSB
-
INCLUSIVITY
"The IC Reader approach means I don't teach; I facilitate.
My students experienced a level of empowerment that respected their lived experiences and a
space to explore their thoughts and emotions reflectively and collectively."Gr. 7 Teacher, TDSB
-
GAMIFICATION
"Books have never been this fun and educational for my students. Even my students that hate reading and never participate are up, moving, and learning."
