Great Language Tools from MSU
Michigan State hosts the Center for Language Education and Research (CLEAR.) As part of the center’s mission, they provide many free web-based tools for language learning. Their primary focus is world languages, but I could imagine a number of creative uses in many different subjects.

Thanks Sarah,
I agree with you - what I really want to say is that the 1-1 will enhance and improve our already high quality teaching and that it is part of the "life long learner" that is in our mission statement.
