Title: Columbia Corpus of Conversations for Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language
Body:
From http://edblogs.columbia.edu/corpusdeconversaciones/about-this-site/
The Columbia Corpus of Conversations for Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language website contains video recordings of natural conversations among Spanish speakers to be used as language sources in the teaching and learning of the language. The recordings were made by approaching speakers in public places or taking advantages of meetings among family and friends, without a script or any other constraint.
Below each video recording, on the same page, there is a brief description (DESCRIPCIÓN), an orthographic transcription (TRANSCRIPCIÓN), a list of interesting language elements that appear — ¿QUÉ VAMOS A ENCONTRAR? (“what will we find?”) — and specific activities for that video — ACTIVIDADES — with indication of the language level of the students with which we see it appropriate to use them.
The videos are categorized according to the language level of students, the number of participants in the videos, the country of origin of the speakers, their professions, the relation among them, and their topics of conversation. Each of these categories can be accessed in the menu on the upper right corner of the page.

Title: Video Interview with Juan Felipe Herrera, US Poet Laureate
Body:
From http://www.colorincolorado.org/videos/meet-authors/juan-felipe-herrera
Juan Felipe Herrera is the 21st U.S. Poet Laureate. The son of migrant workers, Mr. Herrera says that he was always moving in his childhood and that his mother in particular bestowed upon him a great love of language and folklore. In this special in-depth interview with Colorín Colorado, Mr. Herrera shares memories of his childhood adventures (and romances) and remembers Mrs. Sampson, the third-grade teacher who had such a profound impact on him and "turned him towards the land of poetry." He also talks about the dynamic environment at UCLA in the 1960s that inspired so much of his creativity, and he shares some of his favorite poetry activities for students.
