UPDATE This page started life in the late 1990s as a companion resource for a presentation given at the 1998 ETAI conference in Jerusalem. With the passing of time and the rapid change of all things Internet this page is probably now best looked at as a curious archive rather than an accurate list of current resources. But it certainly reflected state of the art ESL and Internet teaching approaches in the early days of the web. Michael Coghlan (December, 2016) |
