Listening task. Villes nouvelles, a report from the BBC Learning Zone clip bank. Perfect standard for A2 A-level French. This would work well with the Florent Pagny song I posted recently. Pre-listening discussion, then questions in French for intensive listening and detailed note-taking.

Listening. Marie-Anne talks about Amélie Poulain. Video from i-catcher-online.com, with gap fill and oral task - describing a film. Good AS level task (high intermediate).

Listening task on animal rights, based on a Canal+/Youtube video. Fast and challenging, with images which may upset some.

Listening task. The song Châtelet Les Halles sung by Florent Pagny. Gap fill. Good official video on Youtube. Would fit a topic about life in the suburbs/inner city.

Listening task (gap fill): Hors saison song by Francis Cabrel. Haunting, melancholic, gorgeous! Would work well with a relationships topic at AS level.

Listening gap fill of Francis Cabrel's song about poverty, Madame X. Apart from the fact that Cabrel is a great songwriter, he sings really clearly which makes his songs very usable in class.

Listening gap fill of Savoir aimer, the beautiful song sung by Florent Pagny and written by Pascal Obispo. This uses the excellent official video on Youtube. Would fit well, by the way, with the relationships topics in the AQA AS specification.

Listening: gap fill of La corrida by Frances Cabrel, a song denouncing bull-fighting. The Youtube video mirrors the lyrics of the song. Love this song! Ask students who is telling the story.

Listening task on Restos du coeur, the charity founded by Coluche in the 1980s. Report from TV8Clermont, with discussion, gaps to fill and translation into French. Good English A2 exam material.

Listening task on the potential dangers of e-cigarettes, based on a Belgian TV report. Good AS level task, quite challenging. Vocab finding + true/false/not mentioned.
