Request for input: Survey of FL teachers related to authentic mat erials

[Scott McGinnis]

In designing the curriculum for a foreign language
class in any language at any proficiency level, you
would like to include authentic, culturally
meaningful material in the target language in order to
enrich your students' listening comprehension skills,
broaden their vocabulary, and expand their cultural
knowledge. If you had access to, or funding to
acquire, any program such as classic and/or
contemporary film, a television series (e.g. comedy,
mystery, soap opera), an animated cartoon, a
television commercial, a music video and/or a
television news     program, all in the target
language, what would you choose? If you already know
of specific materials, please tell us as much as you
can about them by filling in the following survey. The
survey may be accessed at the following address:
