Accessibility Statement for Frenchlit.org

​

Last Updated: August 1, 2025

​

Our Commitment to Accessibility

Frenchlit.org is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all people, including those with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards. Our goal is to provide an accessible and inclusive learning environment where all users can access our online courses and services with ease.

 

Measures to Support Accessibility

Frenchlit.org takes the following measures to ensure the accessibility of our website and online courses:

  • Conformance to Standards: We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines are the internationally recognized standards for making web content more accessible to people with disabilities.

  • Design and Development: Accessibility is a key consideration from the initial design phase through to the development and maintenance of our website and course content.

  • Alternative Text: We provide alternative text descriptions for all meaningful images, charts, and graphics so that users with screen readers can understand the visual content.

  • Keyboard Navigation: Our website and courses are designed to be fully navigable using only a keyboard, without the need for a mouse. This is essential for users who have motor disabilities.

  • Captions and Transcripts: We provide accurate captions for all pre-recorded videos and transcripts for audio content to assist users who are deaf or hard of hearing.

  • Clear and Readable Content: We use clear, easy-to-read fonts, maintain sufficient color contrast between text and background, and structure our content with proper headings to improve readability and navigation for all users.

  • Screen Reader Compatibility: Our website is built with screen reader compatibility in mind, using ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) landmarks and proper semantic HTML to ensure a logical reading order.

  • User Feedback: We welcome and encourage feedback from our users. Your input is crucial to helping us identify and resolve accessibility issues.

​

Ongoing Efforts

Accessibility is an ongoing process, and we are dedicated to continuous improvement. We regularly conduct internal accessibility audits and user testing to identify and address any potential barriers. We also provide accessibility training to our content creators and development team to ensure that new content and features are built with accessibility in mind.

 

 

Accessibility Issues

Despite our best efforts to ensure the accessibility of Frenchlit.org, there may be some limitations. Below is a description of known limitations and potential solutions:

  • Older Content: Some older course materials created before our current accessibility standards may not be fully compliant. We are actively working to remediate this legacy content.

  • Third-Party Content: Our website may contain links to or embed content from third-party websites or services (e.g., YouTube videos, external articles). While we encourage our partners to prioritize accessibility, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of their content.

If you encounter any accessibility barriers on Frenchlit.org, please don't hesitate to reach out. We will do our best to provide you with an alternative format or to find a solution to your problem.
