TitleListening Practice for French Teachers
Body
As I was driving home in a friend's car last night, I was listening to radio NRJ. It's not a station that I generally listen to. The call-in show was dealing with couples meeting on the Internet and moving frm a virtual to a face-to-face relationship. What was interesting to me was the format in which several hosts talked with each other and with the caller or callers. Very fast paced, real language. Quite good, I think, for French teachers in search of access to languga ethat mlight challenge them to keep up their skills and perhaps continue to improve. Also a good source of current slang in context.

If you like NRJ, check out their podcasts. I listen to NRJ's "Best of de l'Emission Sans Interdit" (available on iTunes), because of all of the slang. I love the podcast format, because I can listen to it when I'm ready. I'll have to pick and choose topics, but I hope to use one of them with my advanced class this year as an example of informal speech.
