                                      http://www.popjisyo.com/WebHint/Portal.aspx
                                      Great resource for students to study/learn English on the internet.  As introduced by Ben Shearon at MYC, students can roll over English on the site and it will display the Japanese meaning in a little pop-up window.  Great for assignments or self-study.  Can also be used for studying Japanese as well.

                                      A great flashcard program that allows you to download different cardsets depending on what you are studying.  Great for Japanese and the JLPT in particular, but also available for other languages as well.
