WORLD WIDE WEB NEWS

The Chinese Language Teachers Association (CLTA) Newsletter now has a electronic version. Check it out at: http://nts.lll.hawaii.edu/tedyao/clta/

The CLTA Links webpage has a new URL: http://clta.deall.ohio-state.edu/CLTAlinks/links.htm
Instead of one webpage, there is now a set of webpages within frames in their own separate subdirectory.

CLTA homepage has a new employment webpage of links to job ads, as well as an online form for submission of job ads for Chinese language teaching positions posted in the CLTA website. The "CLTA JobLinks and Announcements" webpage is maintained by our CLTA web assistant, Alan Peterka. The URL is: http://clta.deall.ohio-state.edu/employ.htm

CLTA and Learning Chinese Online at UC Davis are happy to let everyone know that there is now an official new webpage, "Online Reviews: Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) Software for Chinese." The webpage will be maintained by Prof. Dana Scott Bourgerie, JCLTA Review Editor, in collaboration with Dr. Tianwei Xie, who will be preparing the reviews for online access and housing them at UC Davis as part of his Learning Chinese Online. The URL for this stand-alone webpage is: http://clta.deall.ohio-state.edu/Reviews/Reviews.htm
