ELFE is a popular interactive program allowing learners of French to practice specific grammar skills. ELFE does not explain grammar, it merely checks the learner’s knowledge of grammar, while using basic vocabulary suitable for all levels. This stand-alone program has proven quite effective but is currently obsolete due to changes in both Mac and PC’s OS. This project will update ELFE to distribute it over the web while keeping its main features intact. It will also add much needed flexibility to the menus, allowing for customization that will enable teachers to choose which exercises to select for each level of French.
