Will Slade's Language Teaching Blog

Cuando visité a Denton la semana pasada, me contó un amigo que usa mucho este blog para sacar práctica en el español.  Me inspiró meter otros sitios para que practiquemos todos: Encontré algunos videos que se tratan de la educación temprana (por profesores en Harvard) . También este video en Youtube me interesó:   educación y teatro del oprimido (las ideas de Boal y Freire aplicadas en Bolivia)  . BrainPop  es un sitio educacional que me parece chido.  Es fácil inscribir para accesarlo gratis, aunque sea temporal.  Tiene videos interesante; acabo de ver uno que se trata de "bullying." Un estudiante de Arabia Saudita me preguntó de las influencias arabes en el lenguaje español .  Encontramos este árticulo en Wikipedia. Por favor, comparte cualquier corrección u oportunidades adicionales para practicar.  Puede usarw la sección "Comments."

Along with my classmates in Oral English Teaching and Methods of Foreign Language Education, I've been reading, thinking, and learning about how we perceive sounds in our second languages and how we begin to understand what we're hearing. In my time at DHS, I had a bunch of links to websites with listening practice. I'm going to try to recreate that list here: esl-lab.com -- Randall Davis created this site, and I really enjoy listening to the quirky conversations he (and I presume his family members) have recorded. The response activities vary a lot from one topic to another; sometimes they are quite in depth, but often they are not. A draw back to this resource is there is not much variety of accents or voices; the same people record almost everything. real-english.com -- This resource has short videos with a lot of conversations and interviews with people with a variety of accents. The activities are skimpier than in esl-lab, but it's fun to have a video. Englis
