I am wondering if anyone is aware of any level appropriate textbooks and/or websites for this.  I have been trying to find some information without any success.  My part of the curriculum is focused on the language used in the office (role plays, case studies, etc.) while students are also learning the various computer applications. Any help would be very much appreciated.  Thank you in advance. --Ruth DuffyShoreline Community College
