3 Jeunes Francophones General Description: This series consists of two videos incorporating a total of 10 programs, approximately 20 minutes each, and a teacher's guide with activities, worksheets, answer keys, and program tapescripts. The same presenters, all between the ages of 15 and 20, introduce each program, giving consistency which will aid student comprehension. The video format is a well-paced combination of music and spoken language, reinforced by strong and appropriate visual support and captions. Topics covered by the programs that take place in three Francophone regions, Québec, Sénégal, and Toulouse, are: fashion, sport and health, leisure acitivities, environment, work, media, relationships, and food.
