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.

 		 Billy Connolly - Don�t Drink the Water
 A very funny routine from famed Scottish comedian, Billy Connolly, about problems drinking tap water on holiday. Best used with students 18 years and older. Billy is very funny, but some people will be put off by his low-brow humor and language. From the CD "Billy Connolly Live at the Odeon Hammersmith London."

 		 Fallout Shelter Problem
 Here is a speaking activity that never fails to generate lots of discussion!

 		 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.

 		 Momisms
 If this doesn�t wake up your students, nothing will! Here is a FUN activity with lots of vocabulary that takes a VERY difficult (and funny) song sung to the tune of "The William Tell Overture" and brings it way down to intermediate level because the listening tasks are selective and individualized. (The video is available on YouTube and the iTun...

 		 Bad PowerPoint
 Few things are as effective as satire in teaching people presentation techniques (or most other things!). Don McMillan�s funny "Bad PowerPoint" or "Death by PowerPoint" video, which can be found on YouTube or ordered from his website, is an excellent way to teach students (uh, and teachers, too!) how NOT to do their PowerPoint slides. It is b...
