""Lab pe aati hai dua" ("Chlid's prayer"), on a poem by Allama Iqbal, the great Urdu and Persian poet (1977-1938 - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_Iqbal ). It is sung here by Siza Roy and a chorus of school children, Label: Saregama Distribution: The Orchard - see http://www.theorchard.com/dist/releaseInfo.php?upc=829410800501. Thanks to the Orchard for having removed the ads that were first automatically added to this video. NOTE I don't know Urdu, so I copied the words from "dua (prayer) - Lab pe aati hai dua... " http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvBd_F-Fn3w . one of the several open-captioned videos on this poem. Then I used them to produce the dynamic subtitles in Open Captioning with TunePrompter (Mac version: http://tuneprompter.en.softonic.com/mac ). Exporting the video produced the credits in the first seconds of the video."

Folk music in many European languages http://folkdc.eu/ The Digital Children's Folksongs for Language and Cultural Learning (Folk DC) project is a European Union project designed to motivate young language learners to engage with language learning through using Folk songs, and activities around the songs. The songs are in 10 European languages (Czech, Danish, English, Finnish, Greek, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish, Turkish). The project will be producing a complete package for schools (Autonomous Teacher Training Tool kit - ATTT) so that schools all over Europe can take part in the project. The project culminates in a simultaneous, live concert in 5 countries, streamed over the Internet to audiences all over Europe. School choirs will sing folk songs in non-native languages that will be streamed to the other concert venues and also made available to an Internet audience. Schools can take part in this project by: Using the resources produced by the project Suggesting your own language, culture and music activities, inspired by the project Watching the live concert (at the venue or online) - see how you can join Adding folk songs of your language - see the project Wiki You can ask more information about how you can take part here. The project will introduce an understanding of the number, richness and culture of other languages when children start to learn a foreign language and begin to understand the meaning of additional languages. It will engage children in fascinating and engaging activities that will resonate in to the future and answer the need for materials that can directly engage and motivate children to enjoy their learning.

We teachers like to shake things up a bit and how better to begin than by adding a little randomness into your lessons. This is a great site that creates custom cubes which you can use as dice in class. They are easy to create and great for children make for a range of subjects and activities. Give it a roll. http://ictmagic.wikispaces.com/Cross+Curricular

Adding an alternative accessible version just for blind people is discriminatory. According to accessibility guidelines - and common sense - alternative access for people with disabilities should only be used when there is no other way to make web content accessible. Besides, access to the text version would also simplify life for scholars - and for people using portable devices with a small screen: text can be resized far better than a puzzle of images with fixed width and height

Integrazione completa delle due lingue (lis e lingua parlata) http://www.webmultimediale.org/malazeta/ Su questo sito potete trovare un bellissimo video di un gruppo rock che recita,cantando, una poesia di primo levi insieme ad un ragazzo sordo che "canta" la stessa canzone. Il video a mio parere è stupendo, la lis da ancora più ritmo e suono alla canzone. Sempre sullo stesso sito potete trovare altri video simili, spettacoli teatrali per esempio, tutti accompagnati da sottotitoli e lis. Il progetto è del prof. Roberto Ellero. I suoi studi si concentrano su come rendere i video accessibili, unendo lis e sottotitoli.

Single words. The coverage depends on what users have added. Words are linked to a thesaurus where they can be seen in context, and sometimes to images, conjugations etc. Always worth a try.

The finest radio drama of the 1930's was The Mercury Theatre on the Air, a show featuring the acclaimed New York drama company founded by Orson Welles and John Houseman. (...)The show is famous for its notorious War of the Worlds broadcast, but the other shows in the series are relatively unknown. This site has many of the surviving shows, and will eventually have all of them. The show first broadcast on CBS and CBC in July 1938. It ran without a sponsor until December of that year, when it was picked up by Campbell's Soup and renamed The Campbell Playhouse. All of the surviving Mercury Theatre shows are available from this page in RealAudio format (some are also in MP3 format). There are several Campbell Playhouse episodes available here as well, in both RealAudio and MP3 formats; the rest are being added gradually.

Gateways to Academic Writing is a fully integrated program for students who are writing in English is one that I would recommend for anyone looking for a book that covers all the bases. I cannot find anything that needs to be added to this comprehensive coverage of writing, whether the student is using English as a first or subsequent language.

Scary how new popular words finds its way into the dictionary... Or is this a rip-off, better go check it out! I feel like such a muggle
