Dub Your Own Movies

Creative dubbing has been around for decades. Woody Allen did it in What’s Up Tiger Lily? in 1966. And there are thousands of great examples on  the web, including this one that let it’s author vent his criticism of Apple’s new ipad.

There are also some sites that make it easy for users to play with short movie clips, adding their own subtitles, music and limited effects. These could be great fun for EFL classes, allowing learners to get creative and play with the English they know.

Phonics Resources

Recently I have been working with English for younger learners. And for the sake of organization, I am posting some of the phonics sites that I have come across.

Scholastic provides this site based on Clifford with an audio activity for sound recognition. 

GenkiEnglish provides this one to help learn letter sounds.

Fonetiks.org provides this site with an interactive chart to help with spelling and sounds.

Some really easy phonics stories can be found here or  at Starfall.
