This is a great set of podcast questions by students to be used as the basis of a cross-cultural exchange. Nice examples to get your students going. These examples are from 16-17-yr-olds. Students get some writing practice, too, by inputting the questions they read aloud.
A place for students to connect with each other and practice language--free! One of the finest uses of social networking I can imagine. This is a site similar to Babbel which I used to brush up my Spanish before it became for pay. Let's hope this stays free!
