Title: Making Noises in French
Body:
From: http://ouicestca.com/making-noises-in-french/
The author Marie states on the site: "This funny blogpost on Ufunk, reposted from James Chapman's site, inspired the following: how the French express common noises." This interesting blog post has pictures and sound files to accompany the different sounds French speakers make to represent different noises and what those noises mean. For example the sound "Miam, Miam expresses the idea of eating, and is also said when a dish looks good."

Title: Online Monograph: Twitter en la Enseñanza y Aprendizaje del Español
Body:
Twitter in la enseñanza y aprendizaje del español
Edited by Roberto Cuadros and Javier Villatoro
Published by digitalingua
Excepción hecha quizá de Facebook, Twitter es la red social que más impacto ha tenido en la sociedad digital, y la que más probabilidades de crecimiento parece ofrecer a tenor tanto del desarrollo de la propia red como de los nuevos soportes y dispositivos móviles que comienzan a popularizarse partir de la segunda década del siglo XXI.
En este sentido se hacía necesaria una obra que sistematizara, revisara y ampliara diferentes aproximaciones marginales que sobre la cuestión se habían llevado a cabo en congresos, artículos y trabajos de fin de máster.
Por ello, la obra colectiva que se presenta aquí persigue un triple objetivo: a) indagar en las aplicaciones de la red social Twitter a la enseñanza y aprendizaje de segundas lenguas en general y en español en particular, b) reunir una colección de artículos en los que se aborde el tema desde diversas ópticas y dimensiones y c) crear, editar y difundir el resultado mediante la publicación de un monográfico.

Title: Free Lesson Using CrowdWish
Body:
From http://elt-resourceful.com
"A free downloadable lesson, about a new online service, CrowdWish, which invites people to post their wishes on their website. Every day people vote on the most popular wish, and CrowdWish will grant it! Students start by discussing some wishes taken from the site, then read a short text about what the site aims to do (so don't tell them at the start of the lesson!) There is then a focus on some useful idioms, before going on to watch a video in which the founder of the site, 'pitches' his idea. Students then look at the grammar used with 'wish', particularly at the use of 'would' when you want someone else to change their behaviour. Finally the students come up with their own wishes and vote on them, like on the site."
