FIA fans, it’s a great day for us: Tim Shea of Yale Press, organizer of the French in Action 25th Anniversary Reunion at Yale last October has just posted additional videos from that great event. They are available on the offiical FIA Reunion blog, on the Yale YouTube Channel and embedded here below.
Foremost among them is of course the skit written and performed by Charles and Valérie, « On n’a pas tous les jours 25 ans . . . » in which Robert et Mireille meet par hasard on the Yale campus and catch up on their lives over the past quarter century. Think of it as French in Action Leçon 53! Unfortunately le Prof doesn’t make an appearance at the end to break down all the dialogue with rewinds and visual aids, so if you’re like me you’ll want to replay parts of it several times over to catch everything.
Then, you’ll want to watch Pierre Capretz’s describe the « Genesis and Inception of French in Action. » Wonderful stuff!
But there’s more. A panel of French instructors discuss the strength of FIA with co-creator Barry Lydgate.
Here Tim Shea talks about the future of the FIA texbook, workbook and other materials and Prof. Capretz reports the discovery of Marie-Laure’s diary!
At long last, these join the video of me making the case that FIA constitutes a cult (if not a dangerous one).
Thank you for posting these, Tim! I’m predicting the Robert et Mireille video will set a record number of views for the Yale YouTube Channel!
