The Internet Directory for English Language Improvement (2nd Edition) was compiled and published by the English division of the CCDMD. The Directory includes many resources for teachers, as well as for ESL students and all students conducting research and writing papers.

The Directory even includes two entries from Vanier: Learning Centre (highlighting the materials available to students for preparing for the English Exit Exam) and English Now: An Online Tutorial (also a producation of The Learning Centre).
I have a few paper copies of the Directory in my office so come visit me in F-207 if you would like one.
