Language students learn best when given the opportunity to communicate meaningful content
in realistic settings. Providing those realistic contexts hasn’t always been easy, but—as this book
emphatically demonstrates—technology can help. Technology-Infused French begins by showing
you how to use technology to present French language instruction in a meaningful, realistic context
and concludes with resource units for four different classroom projects. Let this book show you how
to help your students become proficient—able to communicate in real-life settings and situations—
not just in the classroom.
Carl Falsgraf is founder and Director of the Center for Applied Second Language Studies, a National Foreign
