This proposal seeks to create a World Wide Web site to be attached to the graduate-level interdepartmental course in the theory and methods of foreign language teaching. The web site will not be a course page per se, but will be attached to the course and integrated into the activities of the course. It is designed to serve as a reference source for language educators, combining “encyclopedia-type” entries on numerous terms and concepts in the field. Linked to these entries will be annotated bibliographies including both print and electronic sources. Students in the course will be assigned brief projects investigating articles, web sites and books and adding summaries of these materials to the web site. The project will set up the web site and establish a framework. Each time the course is taught students will be asked to make contributions to the web site, which will in this way expand and in time become an ever more useful resource.
