This is an interesting free app for creating short audio broadcasts, like a mobile audio Twitter feed. Nice way to get students listening and speaking.

Un tutoriel vidéo d'environ 10 minutes proposé par Fabrice Gély ( enseignant de sciences physiques ) qui montre l'utilisation de l'éditeur audio numérique Audacity ( logiciel libre, PC/Mac/Linux ).

 

Vous verrez comment

1. Enregistrer du son avec un téléphone 

2. Télécharger Audacity ainsi que l'encodeur LAME qui permet d'enregistrer en format mp3 (inutile pour Mac).

3. Editer (enlever des bafouillements) et copier / coller des fichiers différents pour en faire un fichier unique

4. Utiliser les boutons pour écouter et arrêter l'enregistrement ; couper et coller des parties, amplifier une partie ou le tout ...

5. Sauvegarder une version finale ( ne pas enregistrer le projet, mais exporter sous format mp3 ).

"Application disponible via le navigateur chrome qui permet de faire des commentaires audio sur tous les documents textes disponibles sur Google Drive"


Via lnajap, Chris Jaeglin
Shona Whyte's insight:

Très simple à utiliser pour les googleheads - il faut être sur Chrome avec un gmail et G-Drive.

 

On rajoute le plug-in depuis le Chrome Web Store, et ensuite on peut ouvrir un document en mode Commentaires vocaux, ce qui permet de surligner une partie du texte et enregistrer de l'audio.  

 

Si on partage le document, un lien vers chaque piste audio apparaît sous le menu commentaires.  Pour les apprenants de langue, un enseignant peut donner la pronunciation d'un mot, par exemple, ou proposer un retour à l'oral plutôt qu'écrit.  

 

On peut imaginer d'autres activitiés collaboratives du moment que les apprenants installent le même plug-in sur leur machine.

"Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens

Shona Whyte:

Loudlit.org has a collection of audio books, many retrieved from Project Gutenberg with audio via Librivox.org.

 

Here you can read along to the audio of Dicken's Great Expectations.

 

Unless you're a big fan of classic fiction, this is going to seem like hard work for language learning, but it's a good resource for general language input for upper intermediate and advanced learners (listen regularly for a short period).  You can also work on a short section using the shadow reading technique, where you keep the volume quite low and try to read aloud with the reader; this helps fluency and intonation.  Otherwise you can just listen and note words which are not pronounced as you expected, and look for patterns there.

 

Loudlit also has children's literature and poetry sections.

Great for phonetics/phonology practice, or just demonstrating phonological variation to dispel the myth that there's one "standard" pronunciation.
