This article, of particular interest to foreign language teachers, examines three students' experiences using a computerized reading of an excerpt from a French novel, Une vie de boy (Oyono 1956). In this study, interpretive communication is evaluated by student recall and vocabulary retention, which was then linked to pre-test questionnaires. The authors link the importance of reading to the Communication, Cultures, and Comparisons goals of the Standards, and provide a rationale for a computerized reading program at the intermediate level.#1.Communication #Curriculum #BookSection #LearnersandLearning #All #ClassroomExamples #French #Principalfocus #Research #Teachersandteaching #Postsecondary
