This is the book about the “Virtual Residence Language™” method created by Sue Fenton, M Ed.
The premise is that students learn the language while "living" in their own apartments in the world city for the year (Ex. Paris, Madrid, Tokyo, Roma, Damascus, Berlin, etc.) It is a virtual simulation in which the langauge is taught in authentic contexts. Students practice speaking in contexts and locations all overthe city. This book is the basic "how-to" guide for setting up a Virtual Residence Language (VRL) course.

If we can't take our students to a world city, we can do the next best thing; simulate the experience. Students learn valuable city skills, as the city becomes like a second home. Adapt the text material of any textbook to VRL. Make language real! Students really love "living' in their own apartments in Paris, and teachers have so much emjoyment creating "authentic lesson plans."
