> 
> 1. Ease of access and range of accessibility:  Web-based learning
> resources accessible by individual language learners from varying
> cultural, linguistic and geographic backgrounds.
> 
> 2.  Versatility of the resources:  For learners of various ages
> (adolescent, university student, and/or adult self-learner) and
> educational goals (conversation, business, literature, preparation =
> for
> language competence certification, etc.).  Resources addressing =
> varied
> learning styles and offering diverse types of learning activities and
> tasks.
> 
> 3. Breadth of the resources:  Materials to help students to progress
> from the beginning level of language learning to moderate levels of
> language proficiency.  Sites which aggregate and annotate language
> learning resources available on other sites.  Materials for learning
> more than one language will be considered a plus.
> 
> It is NOT necessary to meet all of these criteria.  If you have
