I've been quite busy recently producing resources for frenchteacher.net.
The most recent additions include some short news items of the fait divers style, along with a matching exercise, vocabulary, writing task and translation sentences with a focus on the passive in the perfect tense. This resource would suit an AS level group (upper intermediate).
I have also heavily adapted a text from Le Figaro about integration in France. The source text was based on a report produced in 2009 which painted a fairly rosy picture of the progress made by immigrants in France. The basic argument is that "l'intégration marche", which runs counter to what we sometimes read in the press. I have added vocabulary, questions, comprehension, lexical work and general questions about the issue of immigration and integration. This is a very mainstream A2 level topic and the text hits the mark very well.
There is a text on the benefits of tourism to which I have added vocabulary, questions, discussion and vocab work. This would work well with the topic of holidays at AS level (upper intermediate). I have included some general conversation questions on holidays.
Finally, I found an article in Sud Ouest, which I have used as a basis for a text on the delicate issue of abuse of the elderly (la maltraitance des personnes âgées). This seems to me to be a worthy topic for advanced students and one which is not often discussed. The language of the text is quite straightforward, so little vocabulary is needed, but I have included lexical work and comprehension questions. I like to include tasks which get students to relate nouns to verbs and vice versa. If students get a feeling for word relationships, fluency and better comprehension should be encouraged.
