The Musical Revival of Cajun French
Elise Quinio
March 9, 2017
Cajun French was forbidden in Louisiana until 1964. This dialect is a blend of French, English, Spanish and Caribbean influences, and is now being revived through the music of the Lost Bayou Ramblers. The band’s singer and violinist, Louis Michot, talked to [France-Amérique] about his commitment to save Louisiana’s Cajun culture.

TED en Español: TED2017’s first-ever Spanish-language speaker session
March 9, 2017
For the first time ever, the annual TED Conference in Vancouver will feature an entire session of Spanish-language TED Talks….
Titled ¨Conexión y sentido¨, or “Connection and meaning,” the session will feature six speakers from a range of backgrounds and disciplines. They include artist Tomas Saraceno (Argentina/Germany); poet, musician and singer Jorge Drexler (Uruguay/Spain); former presidential candidate and peace activist Ingrid Betancourt (Colombia/France/UK); primatologist Isabel Behncke Izquierdo (Chile/US); physicist Gabriela Gonzalez (Argentina/US) and journalist Jorge Ramos (Mexico/US).
The session marks the official launch of TED en Español, a sweeping initiative from TED designed to build content and community in the Spanish-speaking world. The TED en Español team has already been hard at work laying the groundwork for a major effort, actively curating content in Spanish and beginning to share via dedicated Spanish-language channels, including:
• Weekly newsletter
• YouTube channel
• Facebook and Twitter accounts
• TED Talks with Spanish subtitles (TED en Español ribbon on TED.com coming soon)
• Dubbed TED-Ed lesson videos
…and more than 2,000 TED Talks with Spanish subtitles

Title: Let’s Talk: Video English Lessons
Body:
From https://www.fluentin3months.com/free-online-english-language-lessons/
Benny Lewis reviews the Let’s Talk series of video English lessons on YouTube as follows:
“There are hundreds of videos about every aspect of the English language. For example, you’ll find videos about phrasal verbs, words for expressing boredom, words you might hear on the radio, and all sorts of idiomatic expressions.
“Each Let’s Talk video is about ten minutes long – perfect to watch during your morning coffee break. They aim to teach a neutral, international English, though some lessons focus on specific dialects.”

Title: Quick Activities: Air Writing and Palm Writing
Body:
From http://palmyraspanish1.blogspot.com
Here are two related activities that require very little prep and can be fit into any part of a day’s lesson: students get into pairs, then one silently reads a sentence on the board and writes it in the air for a second student, who cannot see the board and must correctly write the sentence down. In the second version, one student writes on the other students' palm with his/her finger. See a fuller explanation at http://palmyraspanish1.blogspot.com/2017/03/air-writing-palm-writing-fun-friday.html
