| Title | Recommended French Radio Resource |
| 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 language that might challenge them to keep up their skills and perhaps continue to improve. Also a good source of current slang in context. http://www.nrj.fr Ponterio. B. Good listening practice for French teachers. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv.

What I thought was useful was having multiple participants engaging in fast-paced conversation on a variety of topics and including call-ins for a good variety of language patterns. For instance, in the show that I listened to, a caller chose not to give his first name when asked, as most callers do. The hosts immediately switched from "tu" to "vous" and called him "monsieur". This did NOT come across as an intention to be polite, but rather to clearly place him in the out-group. Priceless! In any case, there are certainly other stations that have similar formats and music that I personally prefer, but NRJ is also aimed at a young audience, hence a potential interest for our students. http://www.nrj.fr Ponterio, B.
