Teachers will find these resources interesting, but when
we compiled the list, we were thinking only of learners.
In fact, there seem to be rather more resources that are
teacher-oriented, but they are not listed here unless
they are also useful to learners.
We have not attempted an academic evaluation of these
resources. All of them will be useful to someone,
somewhere -- maybe you -- but that is for you to decide.
Inclusion is not an endorsement. Omission is not a
condemnation.

"This discussion group is for learners and teachers
of English -- and especially for those interested in
using Internet. We're running this group for an
experimental period while we're broadcasting our new
radio series "Network". The series is designed to
give an introduction to the Internet - and
especially to how you can use it to learn and teach
English. As well as the radio series we have
produced an Internet site, which contains
transcripts of
1000
the programmes and other information.
The address of the Internet site is:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/BBC_English/
More people can use email than have access to the
Internet, so this gives the chance for a lot of
people to communicate with us - and with each
other."

The criteria for email-friendliness are simple. The web
pages must be retrievable by an web-to-email gateway,
and they must be readable when they have been obtained.
Fortunately, email-friendliness usually coincides with
good page design -- and good design is strongly
correlated with original and useful content.
So -- these sites do not rely on frames, image loading,
image maps, cookies, wierd backgrounds, lurid colours,
etc.
We have categorised these sites as being primarily
content-based or link-based, though the distinction is
arbitrary in most cases.
This is not a review or a list of recommendations, but
if you really don't know where to start, we suggest
ESLCafé or the many excellent pages at the Aichi
Institute of Technology (http://www.aitech.ac.jp).
