thinkLanguage is an at-home language immersion, designed to increase language fluency while teaching you about life and culture in other countries. Join us as we explore the wonders of the Spanish, French and Italian languages and cultures. You can also buy school subscriptions. It is good because it has a glossary of the content language to the side of each article. At the end of the magazine it covers a grammar concept and also has a 'listen and repeat' section', which I haven't figured out how to use yet. Down load magazine into iBooks to keep. I like it.

A comprehensive text on the main factors that affect second language acquisition. Some cues for teaching different ages are presented that are beneficial for using as a guide in the classroom setting. Good resource to have to refer to and to be more aware of what impacts on SLA.

course italian languages vocabulary video reading A1 A2 B1 B2

shared by Antonella S on 01 Dec 14 - No Cached

Antonella S on 01 Dec 14

This site claims that it will gauge a students' knowledge of vocabulary and provide materials (readings, videos) at the appropriate level, to make comprehension easy enough for learning to be fun, but at the same time slightly challenging for new learning to happen (Krashen's idea of i+1). I have tried it at beginner's level for Italian and was not terribly impressed, but the idea is good. Would love to hear what other people think about this.

  There is no need to register, just click the "create" button at the top of the page and choose an avatar. You can also customise the avatar appearance if desired, but the most interesting aspect is that if you type any text into the text-to-speech box, and then hit the "play" button, you will hear your sentence as if it were produced by a native speaker of the language you have selected (including French, English, Greek, Indonesian, and Italian). Obviously, the typical prosodic features (intonation patterns, etc.) we use in naturalistic conversations are missing, which is a downside. But for basic pronunciation, it is an excellent tool. Some examples of how Voki can be used for teaching are available in the lesson plans shared by other teachers.

Voki is a FREE service that lets you create customized speaking characters. Students can use avatars to use in their dialogues. They can record their voice or type in the text in a range of languages and the avatar will speak. This site can assist students with pronunciation although the vice is computerized.
