This is a slightly more up-to-date version of the old outils utiles (2010). It was a version of my original 2003 curated collection of resources, and revised in turn through 2012-23: FREN 101 (ARCHIVE, 2013-18), FREN 102 (ARCHIVE, 2013-18), FREN 101 & 102 (2018-19, up to the March-April 2020 COVID-19 onlinising “pivot”), and UBC Canvas course sites (2020-24, access restricted to UBC Vancouver students taking these courses). These reference resources are primarily intended for university French language classes from CEFR levels A1 to B2; there’s some overlap with resources at the C1 level, for writing in French about literature (2017 version here). Thanks to JB, a student from summer 2023’s FREN 202 (CEFR A2) who asked for a version that’s available and accessible in the longer term: long live free open knowledge, mutual aid, and sustainability!
