Create multiple-choice quizzes, discussions, and surveys including images and videos. The intention is that students would use these in the classroom. Limitations: Because of the focus on the synchronous classroom and interactivity, a single student alone cannot take the quizzes.

Video Assistance for Understanding Language Teaching Techniques (VAULTT) is a collection of original videos highlighting various aspects of language teaching in the classroom. Each short video is accompanied by supplementary information (in a PDF) explaining the techniques and relating them to best practices in language teaching. Some of these videos are real classes, and some are staged. Although these materials are based on current research in second language acquisition, they are produced at a level accessible for teachers with little or no pedagogical training. We are still in the process of constructing this site, but your feedback is welcome!

Used the online editor to crop videos from YouTube, KhanAcademy, and other sites. Then record audio directly in the browser, and add multiple-choice and open-ended questions at any points in the video. You can also add audio notes. Useful for flipping the classroom.

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.

This site allows you to see detailed information on the top 60,000 words (lemmas) of English, based on data from the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA). You can see the overall frequency for each word, as well as the frequency of words in different kinds of English -- spoken, fiction, magazines, newspapers, and academic writing. For each word you can also find the 20-30 most frequent collocates (nearby words) and see 200 or more concordance lines (words in context). You can also see a list of synonyms and (from WordNet) words with more specific and more general meanings, and in all of these cases you can click to see the entries for those related words as well.

Continuously updated corpus of American English with useful search interface. Genres are spoken, fiction, magazine, newspaper, and academic.
