This self-instructional unit about cafes in France is intended for beginning students of French. The introduction to the teacher specifies the general goals, specific learner objectives, evaluation process, and equipment needed. The student's learning activities are divided into four parts, three of which are followed by a written self-quiz and the fourth by an oral quiz. By performing the activities as directed, the student is expected to be able to locate cafes on a map, distinguish various types of eating places, learn the appropriate vocabulary, read a menu, and act out a scene between the waiter and the customer. The necessary information on cafes is supplied in English and is illustrated with pen and ink drawings. Although the unit is intended to be self-contained, a tape recording and filmstrip to accompany the text are available. (AMH)
