From the readings for Sep. 17

The article by Oishi is very interesting to me. As for the utilization of online video, NBC.com or ABC.com has links to full episodes of TV shows. Although I do not know many, I am certain that there are much more web sites where we can watch TV show. If we use several minutes of a TV show, we can provide students with authentic English very easily (but my concern is if these links are available in outside of US; I tried to watch the second season of "Heroes" this summer from Japan, just for fun, it did not work there.). Additionally, when you watch some TV show via the Internet, there is commercial advertisements. Even though this is annoying for watching TV shows, these advertisements can be a excellent materials; there are many funny ones!!

As for the chapter of Kanel, I really like the activity with music. I will tell you a good tool (web site) where you can obtain any kind of rhythm. But not now, I have to hold it until the week I have to give one website.

You're right! Commercials are great resources. And I will be looking forward to the website.
