My middle school French teacher played videos occasionally in class--I'm sure they were Pierre Capretz. I've looked on the internet but can only find his French in Action materials. I know he's been around a long time--does anyone know of some short videos on learning French he has made for middle school kids?

I'm pretty positive he only has the French in Actions videos. I was trained in this method at Yale under his supervision, and taught it to first-year Yale students. I saw a lot of Pierre Capretz, and he frequently plugged his course, but never anything but French in Action (and a course he was planning: French in Interaction, which I think did not materialize).

You could use clips of them to teach middle schoolers. There's nothing intrinsically wrong with using the French in Action course with middle schoolers except that it's intended to be a one-year college course, so it moves really fast compared to middle-school curriculum.
