From Twenty Questions to the Internet: Proficiency Exercises for the Business Foreign Language Classroom

Those who teach a beginning or intermediate Business French course are usually familiar with the contents of the Valise du Français des Affaires circulating from the French Cultural Services that contained a variety of materials useful in expanding upon the Business French course, namely annual reports, videocassettes, slides, and audio cassettes. These materials are still available through industry sources, and coupled now with the bountiful resources of the Internet, can provide a wide variety of proficiency exercises. This study discusses uses of annual reports, slides, accompanying booklets, and other authentic documents published by the Gaz de France, Renault, and the Banco Mundial to provide instruction on various aspects of the natural gas industry, employers’ criteria for potential employees, Renault’s car of the future, and the World Bank’s lending policies.
