Title: JFLA Links
Body: From: "Maki Watanabe" Dear Minasama, I finally uploaded the link page. (http://www.jflalc.org/links/index.html) 0 The links on the pages are mainly based on the two link collections - one that I distributed in Wisconsin this February and the other that was made with a help of Netsu san from JF-Urawa during the summer workshop. I added a little more to these two sources for the new link pages. If you find any dead links or excellent sites to be linked, please let me know. Bon appetit! Watanabe JFLA

Title: Resources in Language Testing
Body: From: Resources in Language Testing Page: http://www.dundee.ac.uk/languagestudies/ltest/ltr.html A review from Language Learning & Technology Vol. 5, No. 2, May 2001, pp. 4-7 The Resources in Language Testing WWW Page, first published 1 May 1995 and maintained by Glenn Fulcher (University of Surrey), is a very comprehensive site for issues related to all aspects of foreign language testing. This page provides "one-stop shopping" for those searching for information on language testing topics ranging from types of tests available to conferences and organizations dealing with testing to numerous research studies online detailing their findings. The site is extremely well-organized and aims to be of much assistance to the user who not only needs to know what and where but also how, how well, and why. For example, numerous online resources are given and they are also reviewed for content and usefulness, something that is all too often missing from online resource collections.
