Setting the International Keyboard in windows works well with foreign
languages, but it interferes with the English assignments.
Additionally, students get used to a method that is not available at home or
on other computers.
Using the ALT codes is very cumbersome, but all MacIntosh Programs and
Microsoft Word in Windows, offer a very simple strategy to put accents over
letters in different languages. This strategy, once learned, is available on
every computer.

For a reference of every character available, check my webpage:

There is a pdf file to be used as a student handout as well.
