Foreign Language Teachers' Greatest Hits
LeLoup, Jean W.; Ponterio, Robert
Language Learning & Technology, v10 n3 p3-7 Sep 2006
The World Wide Web is very much a part of many people's everyday lives now, whether it be for personal or professional reasons. The Foreign Language Teaching Forum (FLTEACH) was inaugurated in February of 1994 to provide a forum where foreign language (FL) educators could engage in collegial dialog about work issues on a regular basis. A great deal of sharing occurs on this forum, and the subscribership is very generous with its knowledge, expertise, and experience. On February 21, 2005, and again on June 1, 2006, the moderators of FLTEACH--also the authors of this column--issued a request to the membership of FLTEACH. They were interested in gathering the addresses or URLs of what the subscribers/contributors considered to be their "top web sites." In other words, what sites were indispensable to these FL professionals; what sites did they use regularly? This information could obviously be of use and benefit to others. From this quick survey request, they received some 60+ submissions, and several were duplicates. In this article, the authors present a few sites of varying categories with a brief explanation and/or description of them. In this way, they hope to give the reader a jump start in the exploration of what FL teachers (at least those on FLTEACH) find to be the "greatest hits" of the web.
