The author presents pedagogical arguments for integrating web‐based student pages into intermediate‐ and upper‐level foreign language courses. She shows how web‐based student pages used for community‐building activities and the presentation of culture projects contribute to meeting the five C's — Communication, Cultures, Connections, Comparisons, and Communities — as they are outlined in the 1996 ACTFL Standards for Foreign Language Learning. Based on the author's experience with web‐based student pages in an online German course, this article offers models that can be applied in both web‐based and web‐enhanced foreign language courses .
