 The examples here show two different ways of using WebAssembly with TinyGo:
 
-1. Defining and exporting functions via the `//export <name>` directive. See
-[the export folder](./export) for an example of this.  Additionally, the Wasm
-module (which has a default value of `env`) can be specified using
-`//go:wasm-module <module>`.
+1. Defining and exporting functions via the `//go:wasmimport <module>` directive. See
+[the export folder](./export) for an example of this.  This exports the function to the Wasm
+module (which has a default value of `env`). You can also use the Go directive
+`//go:export <module>`.
 1. Defining and executing a `func main()`. This is similar to how the Go
 standard library implementation works. See [the main folder](./main) for an
 example of this.
