Abstract
Internet and World Wide Web seems to be changing our ways of communicating and obtaining information. For Japanese teachers teaching overseas, it is full of exciting, up-to-date Japan.

This presentation will explain how we can integrate Internet/WWW into our curriculum without time-consuming development on teacher's part. It will involve discussion of e-mail listserv for both professional development and class use; exploration of materials available on WWW; creation of a short on-line exercise
