Administrative/Biographical Note
France-TV was an award winning news magazine video program produced by the Modern Languages department at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County in partnership with France 2.

UMBC students helped with the production of the show, which aimed to serve not only as coverage of current events in France but also as a method for teaching the French language to English speakers.
