| Abstract | This article describes a modular set of activities based on television news for teaching French language, cultural knowledge, and intercultural capability. The latter term echoes Lantolf and Poehner's symbolic capability (2007), a teaching and learning goal that the author considers more holistic and feasible than the more commonly used term Intercultural Competence (or IC). Generally speaking, the instructional strategies described here are best used to produce supplementary or complementary modules or lessons in courses whose principal focus is not news or current events. This modular strategy can offer significant opportunities for language practice, cultural learning, and culturally-focused critical thinking. In the modular lesson, a carefully-chosen but authentic, unedited, and nonsubtitled news report, typically two to five minutes long, forms the basis for a fifty-to seventy-five-minute session, with follow-up activities. The lesson's structured sequence of viewing, listening, discussion, and debate exercises with follow-up speaking, research, or writing activities is presented in this article, which comments on ways in which this approach supports intercultural models like Bennett's Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity (1993), Byram's Intercultural Communicative Competence (1997), and the culture components of the "World-Readiness Standards for Language Learning" (National Standards Collaborative Board, 2015). It also evokes challenges inherent in models of intercultural learning and conceptual and practical shortcomings that shape assessment of intercultural capabilities. Finally, it suggests that this television news-based approach, used jointly with a model of intercultural learning that is informed by cognitive science and an attitude of intellectual humility, may offer a productive approach for promoting the intercultural capability in the language classroom and in students' lifelong learning.
