French teachers especially will enjoy the web search that FLTEACH user D. Blaz has created: http://trackstar.4teachers.org/trackstar/ts/viewTrack.do?number=95162 . She also offers the following suggestions:

I have students pick a sport, and look up terminology, phrases....and pick an athlete from a French-speaking country and follow their success. Each one also sends "his/her" athlete a message of encouragement (and we are, of course, delighted when someone actually gets a reply!!! Some of the lesser-known athletes are so happy to hear from someone that they do reply.)

We also try to watch the coverage on TF1.
