| Title | Helpful Listservs for Language Professionals |
| Body | In last week’s InterCom we defined Listservs, Blogs, Wikis, and Social Networks and suggested some websites where you can learn more about each one. In this week’s issue of InterCom we suggest some specific resources for you. Your InterCom staff subscribes to numerous listservs and combs through about 1500 e-mails each week to find resources for you. Here are some of our favorite listservs of general interest to language professionals. -FLTEACH: This busy listserv for foreign language teachers has been going since 1994.
