A Sample Word Processing Tutorial
The Technology Integration Example (A Discussion Board en Français) at the beginning
of Chapter 10 showed how teachers might have students use various technology
resources to enhance French language learning. One strategy has them doing a French
menu in order to practice their language use skills in an authentic task. Using the tutorial
below, create a word-processed French menu in Microsoft Word® like the example
shown here.
