Online Literature. Wuthering Heights

lorenatle — Thu, 29 Mar 2007 21:19:55 +0000

Surfing the net I found Emily Brontë’s complete text Wuthering Heights online. I was wondering, is this the future of literature? Will the real book disappear? Won´t we be albe to scan through the paper pages anymore and have the pleasure of holding in our hands such a treasue? I hope not, however I think this is quite a useful tool in order to manage and analyse a text. What´s you point of view?

By the way there´s a website where you can find more classic works online.

Here´s Monthy Python’s vision of this masterpiece

Travels in the Scriptorium

After Brooklin Follies the Principe de Asturias awarded PAUL AUSTER, publishes his new work Travels in the Scriptorium on sale in every bookstore.

“An old man, Mr Blank, is trapped in a windowless room with no idea how he got there. On the mahogany desk are photographs of people he vaguely recognises, and the typescript of a story about a civil servant imprisoned while on a mysterious mission.”

Here there´s a short movie on Auster´s Moon Palace the first work I read on him

Have fun with your students!!!

Why not using games within the classroom? it´s a very useful and motivating resource! I know we cannot use it in every classroom, it depends on how many students we have their interest and behaviour, but why don´t we give them a chance? HERE there are some resources on Second Language Teaching Games, some of them are quite interesting.

I am taking a course on how to create my own IT resources for my English class, I think it´s quite useful, the programme it´s a bit old fashioned but it´s quite practical and easy. Here you can download it, and have a tutorial on how it works. I hope you enjoy it.

Radioblog

Here you can find a list of songs. I include British and American songs mainly, since I find music in the target language a really useful tool to use in our second language lessons.

I hope you enjoy them
