France



Born in the United States, I taught in France for over 40 years (plus many summers in Britain and the U.S.). I taught English primarily to young adults at University level, but I have also taught French secondary school pupils, business people, teachers, prison inmates, and drug addicts. My students have come from 93 countries around the world.

 There are 3 different worksheets here of various levels of difficulty (plus the transcription that I made myself) of Eric Idle�s satirical "praise" of Australian Wines. I usually don�t tell my students that it is a spoof, and then at the end ask them if the speaker has a positive or negative opinion of the wines. Please note that "chunder" is Aust...

 In this grammar game, students have to determine which sentences are correct and which need to be changed. The full instructions are given on page 2. I used the font Zeal for the arrows in the squares on the left and right sides of the game board. (Inspired by "Grammar Games" by Mario Rinvolucri, CUP.)

 		 I Love Lucy - Job Switching
 One of the funniest episodes of "I Love Lucy," which is also one of the funniest moments in the history of American television. Although recorded more than 60 years ago and in black and white, the show still brings laughter to students young and old. The 3 parts of this episode can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SdsLZ80RPI http://...
