Summary/Abstract: If a teacher wants to succeed in teaching foreign languages, s/he has to know very well what his/her mission is and to facilitate the acquisition of contents by the learners so that they can have good and motivating results. The language presented in textbooks never solves the problems of a learner in school. Having as an objective to teach students how to communicate in a genuine, current language, it is obvious that French as a Foreign Language relies on the materials which disseminate it: media, cinema, newspapers. The communicative approach used with these authentic documents presents numerous advantages that a good teacher should not refuse.
