Microsoft has established the Microsoft Unlimited Potential Curriculum to support the teaching of computer skills in 11 different languages (English, Arabic, French, German, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Thai, Vietnamese, Traditional Chinese, or Bahasa Malaysia). The materials are free for not-for-profit organizations and libraries. There is also a grant program available from Microsoft through the UP program. Subjects covered are: Computer Literacy/Computer Fundamentals, Information Literacy/Using the Internet and World Wide Web, Digital Media Fundamentals, and Productivity Applications (word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, web design, and databases). Each module has instructor files, student files, and practice files, with text and slides.
This could be a very useful tool for your instruction needs. URLs:
