Colleagues,
Several people asked for a hit to my request for magazines in the French
language.
Thanks to everyone who shared. There's several to choose from.
We have Les Cles de l'actualite in our high school. When we were looking
for a french magazine last year, we also considered Rolling Stone in
French, which is published, I think, out of Canada.
"Ca m'interesse" is a good French magazine for teens. We subscribe to
it. www.caminteresse.fr check out the web site. (my teacher said the
site is awesome)
When I was in high school (a very, very long time ago) the library
subscribed to "Paris Match" or maybe it was just "MATCH." It was like
"LIFE" or similar to that. Large, glossy photographs, mainstream
articles.
In one of my previous libraries, the French teacher requested Paris
Match - although expensive, it met her needs.
We have a significant French-speaking population, and a wide range of
French classes. We used to get Paris Match, but determined it to be a
bit too racy and insignificant for educational value. Now we get
L'Express - direct from Paris (it's actually cheaper for us than trying
to order through the States). I can provide you with full order info if
you would like. It's pretty good as a Time/Newsweek type alternative.
We subscribe to some French Teen Magazines that are from: MEP School
Division, Subscription Services, 915 Foster Street, Evanston, IL 60201.
1-888-266-5713, fax 847-676-1195. www.mep-eli.com
<http://www.mep-eli.com/> or http://www.europaforeignbooks.com
<http://www.europaforeignbooks.com/> /
We only get the three that are kind of geared toward French 1, 2, 3 & 4:
MOME, Jeunes, Ensemble, Presse-Papiers, but the above web site has some
popular type magazines which might meet your needs.
Our French teacher requested Journal Francais this year, and I have just
recently placed an order. We should receive our first copy in December.
My french teacher also likes Le Journal Francais. It's 12 issues for
$41.00

My French teacher asked for Salut. It's a little expensive though.
There are some good French Canadian magazines out there and would
probably be cheaper to get than the actual French magazines. The two
that we get that come to mind are Okapi and Filles. We order these two
through Ebsco
We subscribe to Jeune et Jolie. It's definitely aimed at teen girls. I
almost always get some sort of trinket (lip gloss, key chains, etc.)
with each issue that I use as prizes! You can find it via Amazon, 12
issues for $64.57. You might also find it through your subscription
service.
Our French teachers asked us to bring in Star Inc. It is a pop culture
magazine from Canada, (much like US or People) and our French students
pick it up all the time. Because the content is familiar, even students
in our French 1&2 classes can get the captions and things.
