Compared to earlier times when language education was realized through more conventional methods and materials, not only instructors but also students are now able to reach a myriad of resources created for foreign language education thanks to advancements in the current era. Despite ease of access to the ones that are already available, language learning resources responding to the specific and current needs of learners are critical components of a quality foreign language program.
