User Study ResearchIn the absence of independent, standardized national testing for beginning and intermediate French students, McDougalLittell conducted the following User Survey in preparation for the ©2004 revision of Discovering French, Nouveau!.
In April 2000, a User Survey was conducted among French teachers using Discovering French ©1998 in their classrooms.A total of 1,110 teachers participated in the survey. Among the 42 items on the survey document, teachers were asked torate their overall satisfaction with the Discovering French Program. Eighty-one percent (81%) of the teachers respondedthat they were either “extremely satisfied” or “very satisfied” with Discovering French. Only six percent (6%) responded thatthey were either “unsatisfied” or “very unsatisfied.”
These levels of satisfaction are extremely rare in any kind of user survey research.
Additional evidence of this is the fact that over seventy percent (70%) of the teachers indicated that they would adopt arevision, or a new edition of Discovering French in the future. The major reasons included:
1. Teachers liked the textbook overall. It had a good presentation with good basics, and met teaching standards,
2. A great variety of ancillary materials were readily available to teachers, and

2. The videos are correlated to the text,
3. The textbooks are attractive with bright colors and are visually appealing, and
4. The textbooks contain good, practical vocabulary, with good oral and written exercises.
