Abstract
This article describes the theoretical and practical aspects of a French thirdsemester course based on the collaborative study of films. Students used French films as linguistic and cultural textbooks. For their semester project, they created culture-oriented film trailers, using user-friendly software programs. Students were expected to explain what their film revealed about selected topics (food, clothes, history, etc.). The preparation was embedded in the lesson plans and homework, with a three-prong focus: grammar, vocabulary, and culture. Students were invited to comment upon one another’s film trailer, comparing and exploring other representations of the French-speaking world.
