Three presentations expand previous understandings of French for Specific Purposes. They share replicable activities and ways of bringing the outside world (French and Francophone sports videos and written materials and French Cyber Security and Military visitors) into the classroom and the French 1 classroom into a Finance Business course. All give practical suggestions on how to replicate their innovative approaches, replete with examples and topics that appeal to and help retain French students.
