OJAD is an online Japanese accent database for learners and teachers of Japanese. The goal of this tool is to enhance the awareness and understanding of the Japanese pitch accent with a suite of four features. The words in the dictionary encompass over 9000 nouns and 3500 declinable words including verbs, i-adjectives, and na-adjectives, making it possible to search approximately 42,300 conjugations of words. What's more, each conjugated form given in the dictionary is accompanied by both male and female audio. This suite provides three other useful tools in addition to word search. With Verb-Suffix Search, you can look up the accent type for a verb followed by a suffix. With Text-Search, you can look up the accent types for words in an excerpt of text. Lastly, with Suzuki-kun, you can predict and display the pitch contour for an excerpt of text. We hope that you will be able to make use of these tools in your future language lessons or language studies.

Letras para volar is "un programa de fomento a la lectura para niños y jóvenes. Es el primer proyecto de colaboración internacional entre la Universidad de Guadalajara y la Fielding Graduate University." On the website they provide a section of "Lecturas," which are Mexican leyendas given in written form as well as in audio format.

You could use these leyendas for reading practice, listening practice, and cultural exploration.
You can enter any text that you would like in the form at the left -- for example, a paper that you've written, or a newspaper article that you've copied from another website. After inputting the text, you can then see useful information about words and phrases in that text, based on data from the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA).
First, it will highlight all of the medium and lower-frequency words in your text and create lists of these words that you can use offline. This frequency data can help language learners focus on new words, and it can allow you to see "what the text is about" (i.e. text-specific words). You can also have it show you the "academic" words in your text.
Second, you can click through the words in the text to see a detailed "word sketch" of any of the words -- showing their definition, and detailed information for the word from COCA -- collocates (which provide meaning into the meaning and usage of the word), re-sortable concordance lines, and the frequency of the word (overall, and by genre).
Finally, you can do powerful searches on selected phrases in your text, to show related phrases in COCA. In this way, this resource is like a "collocational thesaurus" to see what related phrases are most likely in different styles of English. For example, if you click on the words potent argument in the text that you enter, it will suggest alternate ways to express this (e.g. powerful or convincing argument), and it will show you the frequency of those phrases in COCA -- overall, and by genre. This will help you use "just the right phrase", based on a huge collection of native English texts.

"The literary in the every day," is a textbook for a transdisiplinary approach to reading/writing at the first and second year levels of college French. The files that make up the textbook serve as foreign language templates in the form of an OER to bridge the well known divide between lower level language courses and upper level literature "content" courses. Language teachers, with the help of these templates, can develop their own reading and writing activities to highlight the metaphorical nature of language. In our continued commitment toward making our resources more open and remixable, the resource is published in a publicly accessible Google Drive. With a Google account, users can even make their own copy and remix the content.
