Re: [seul-edu] Teaching Language Software

[Bill Tihen -- TECHNOLOGY <bill@mail.tasis.ch>]

Thanks for the clarification Doug.  

Sorry, I mean languages like, French, Spanish, Italian,
German, etc.  During the school year we teach 14 - 18
year olds.  In the summer we teach ages 10 - 18. 
Ideally the software would be able to accomdate a wide
age range too.  Something that can be simple and fun and
something that can be more serious as the student
progresses.

I am not a language teacher so I am not completely sure
about all this though.
