Recommendations for using EXTRA French TV episodes and activities:

 The activities created for this video series work best with French students in Level 3 or 4, or
perhaps at the end of Level 2. These activities incorporate a wide range of listening, speaking
and writing skills, which early learners won’t yet have.

 These activities are intended to be spread over 3-4 days. Each video is divided into Parts A and
B to allow students to understand and work with the video at a deeper level.

 An episode of EXTRA French TV, along with the accompanying activities, could be used after a
unit or chapter assessment. It could serve as a bridge before beginning the next chapter or
unit of study.

 The thirteen episodes could be spread over two years (e.g., Episodes #1-7 in French 3, then
Episodes # 8-13 in French 4.)

 There are no reading exercises included here, but the transcript is available at the link above if
the teacher would choose to incorporate the written text into an activity.

Components for this episode:

1. Suggested timeline of activities.
2. French vocabulary lists, with and without English definitions.
3. Exercises to practice vocabulary.
4. Comprehension questions in English, for Part A and B of the video.
5. Comprehension questions in French, for Part A and B of the video.
6. A related interpersonal speaking activity for partners and/or small groups.
7. A related writing prompt for an in-class or homework essay.

Instructional Suggestions:

 The teacher can choose whether to introduce/practice the vocabulary before students view the
video, or after students view the video.

 Comprehension questions can be given in English or in French, based on teacher discretion.

 The comprehension questions can count as a listening quiz if the teacher chooses. For
immediate feedback, the students could exchange papers and grade the quizzes together with
the teacher right after watching the video.

the quizzes together with the teacher, right after watching the video.

After the video, have a brief discussion about their level of comprehension compared to the
first time that they watched the episode.

3. Interpersonal Speaking activity: students work in groups of 3-4 to do the interpersonal

speaking activity. This activity could be done in a variety of ways. It could be done informally
as the teacher walks around and listens; the teacher could also ask volunteers to do the role
play spontaneously for the rest of the class to watch. It could even be a graded assessment
(live or recorded).

Day 4: Writing prompt. This essay could be done in class or assigned for homework.
