What grades do you teach, Hilary? If your students are old enough

to be using hand-held devices, did you know that there's an app

too? (I didn't until my girls told me last week!)

Thanks for commenting!

Wordreference was the first online dico I showed my students. But, lately, I

have been encouraging them to also TERMIUM PLUS, which is the site for 

the Bureau de la traduction du Gouvernement du Canada. Very well done,

and it forces you to really read the different context, not just pick the first

definition that comes up. And that is one the mistake our fsl students do.

Tammy, now that you have mentioned it, I will for sure show my students the

Forum. I know my eager students will explore that. Great post! Merci.

I'll have to check that out. Although the name is familiar, I haven't

used it enough to picture it. Another go-to of mine for technical

stuff and neologisms is le Grand Dictionnaire Terminologique

which I *really* wish had a catchier name!!

Do you use that one much?

I love wordreference. It is THE best online dictionary.

If my students use google translate, I consider it cheating, and they get azero and written up.

I'd like for that to be my approach too, but our newish assesment

policy in Ontario includes some rather lenient terms around

second chances, considering mitigating cicumstances, the

"maturity level" of the student and prior instances.

They KNOW I consider it cheating, in no uncertain terms, and yet itstill happens from time to time.

Thanks for the comment, Justin!

I really like Linguee also. It will allow them to type in a phrase to see the

many contexts in which the phrase can be used.

Thanks for all of your great posts! I'll have to see what the problem

is with my RSS link feed. Thanks for letting me know. Bonne

semaine!

 Another video for you to help get your message across. I have a mini

assignment that I do where they write in english about their summer 

vacation, then put in a couple translators and analyze the difference. They

love seeing the funny results.

I'm with you! WordReference for Spanish too! It does make it a little harder 

to detect cheating, in that even Spanish I kids can figure out how to say

"was"...sort of. Still, it's cool when kids actually use the contextual examples

to make connections!
