French Teaching Resources PowerPoint: TV Programmes. Les émissions de télé.

As there are many cognates and this is aimed at slightly older students I have included a range of tenses.

Expressions taught:

Je voudrais voir un dessin animé.
Je ne regarde jamais les jeux.
Mon frère préfère les émissions sportives.
Quand j’avais onze ans j’aimais les émissions pour la jeunesse.
La météo ne m’intéresse pas.
Les informations sont ennuyeuses.
Hier soir j’ai vu un documentaire.
Avant de faire mes devoirs j’ai vu un film.
Je vais regarder un feuilleton.

The first slide encourages the students to actively engage with the new vocabulary: working in teams, using their prior knowledge, knowledge of other languages and using a process of elimination to figure out the meanings. They then discuss the pronunciation and question each other before the teacher checks with the whole class. it is differentiated as follows:

All: Pick out and translate the TV programmes. Then translate the full sentences.
Most: Identify the tenses. Perfect Pronunciation Challenge!
Some: QFQs! (QFQ = Quick Fire Questions - the students quiz each other on the new phrases).

The next slides have the phrase and a picture. Use this to elicit the pronunciation, the English and to drill.

The next section of slides have multiple choice questions.

Then there is a "Qu’est-ce que c’est?" slide. This final slide has pictures of all the phrases. This can also be used for a Beat the Teacher game, which the students love! The teacher points to a picture and says a word. If it is the correct word the students all repeat it. If its the wrong word the students must stay absolutely silent. If they do, they win 1 point. If not, the teacher gets 1 point. Most points wins!
