And yet another post on collective dictionaries? Sort of. Addictionary is a website enginet* in which people can add their own words and definitions, i.e. coin new words. I have already analyzed several apps with a similar aim, so when compared to those, this is how Addictionary rates:

(This post is for the Spanish “audience”, i.e. post in Spanish. In any case, I’ll soon post the second part, which will be focused on suggestions, ideas for MicroPlaza, and that one will be in English)

Weboword is a blog in which words are explained visually (with cartoons), reinforced by follow-up practice (e.g. crosswords). You can also subscribe to their daily dose of visual vocab.

I’m subscribed to Abstruse Goose feeds, one of my faves. I found this comic strip especially suitable to learn/teach the differences between simple and progressive past and present perfect (I’ll use it the classroom as part of the lesson plan on past tenses):

Via @sethdickens, I come across Movie Segments to Assess Grammar, a blog by Brazilian ELT Claudio Azevedo where you will find movie segments with the corresponding lesson plan + some tips/tricks.

2 thumbs up.

My suggestion: it’d be great if we could search by levels, too. Plus, what about more focus on speaking/role-plays as follow-up?

Yet another? Not quite.
