This article, the second in a planned three-part series that began with last year's general introduction to the Internet as a resource for language educators, focuses on the basic Internet knowledge that students need to know in order to take full advantage of this ever-growing technology as a tool for language learning. Included in this writing is an overview of the various aspects students need to be aware of as ”Netizens,” an outline of the qualities of a good ESL website, and basic examples of all the major areas of web-based language learning from a student's point of view. This article offers readers guidance on how to deal with some of the difficult Internet-related issues that may arise and helps them attain the skills necessary to access and recommend suitable websites for students. For instructors, the ability to appreciate the purpose and design of websites is a first and necessary step along the way to helping students set up their own websites, which is the subject of next year's final article in this series.
