LEXIMAGE+ est une application gratuite et entièrement hors ligne réalisée par le CAVILAM – Alliance Française, avec le soutien de la Fondation Alliance Française et du Ministère de la Culture. Découvrez un dictionnaire multimédia de plus de 750 mots en français, répartis en 25 catégories : l'identité, les aliments, la famille et les proches, la maison, la France, les lieux publics, etc. Créez ensuite votre dictionnaire personnel en images et enrichissez votre vocabulaire en français en 3 étapes : 1. choisissez un objet de votre environnement immédiat ; 2. photographiez-le avec l’application ; 3. nommez l’objet ou impliquez votre famille, vos amis ou vos collègues pour enregistrer sa prononciation ou vérifier son orthographe. Pour illustrer des concepts ou des éléments que vous ne pouvez pas prendre en photo directement, LEXIMAGE+ offre également la possibilité d’utiliser toute image en ligne ou disponible sur votre appareil. Afin de favoriser le processus de mémorisation, LEXIMAGE+ génère automatiquement 3 types d’exercice à partir des mots de votre dictionnaire : • identifier une image ; • identifier un son ; • écrire. Remarque : LEXIMAGE+ est entièrement utilisable hors ligne. Les données que vous produisez sont uniquement enregistrées sur votre appareil. ----------------------- Visitez le site officiel du CAVILAM - Alliance Française : https://www.cavilam.com Découvrez notre site de ressources pour les professeurs de français langue étrangère : https://www.leplaisirdapprendre.com Suivez-nous sur : - Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/cavilamofficiel/ - Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/cavilamvichy/ - Twitter : https://twitter.com/cavilamvichy - LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/company/cavilamvichy
