Thunder Road by Jim Cummings | Comedy Short Film. The toast of this year’s American festival circuit, Thunder Road triumphantly debuts online today after winning awards at Sundance, SXSW, Los Angeles, and Palm Springs, including the coveted Jury Prize at both Sundance and LA. It’s hard to get stronger festival validation than what Thunder Road has received, and SotW will not present a contrarian position—the film is fantastic, and we’re happy to pile on when it comes to the praise (indeed, I already made my esteem clear as a jury member at SXSW this year). The plot description is simple: taking place at his mother’s funeral, Officer Arnaud goes up to give his eulogy, but, being a simple and plain-spoken man, he decides he needs a little help from a boombox and his friend, Bruce Springsteen.

The appeal of the film is its winning combination of excellent craft with emotional storytelling. Having seen it a few times now, my impression continues to shift between whether I’m more impressed or entertained by it. EnglishCentral. Teaching With YouTube: 197 Digital Channels For Learning.

Creating visual content for my classes with two awesome free online tools. Let’s go visual! If you have been following my blog for a while you probably know how much I like exploring new tools to spice up my lessons. We all know students prefer looking at a screen than at a book so, for this lesson I have decided to explore two new free online tools, which have a lot of potential for language teaching.
