Navigating the Subway: Indicateur des métros
Traveling in a foreign country often requires knowledge of how to use the subway to visit various points of interest in a particular city. The activity is in the form of a role-play in which one student serves as an employee at a government Tourist Office. The other plays the role of a tourist who wants to go to a particular location within the city. He must convey this information to the employee in the target language. The employee then inputs the information into the program and orally gives the directions to the tourist.
