Disney's Frozen "Let It Go" Sequence Performed by Idina Menzel. Roar cloze. Wondering about ELT: Roar. If you had the chance to read my previous post, Her Morning Elegance, you’ve already realized how much I enjoy working with songs in my classes.
A new semester started two weeks ago over here and I was trying to find an interesting song for my students, but this time, I thought, I wanted to do something different from those conventional “fill-in-the-blanks” or “circle the correct word as you hear” types of exercise. As I’m always downloading music for many different reasons, I came across a song by Katy Perry which was released last week. Although I’m not a fan of hers, “Roar” had a peculiar “lyric video” and then I thought this could give me the chance to do what I had been willing to do, something different. If you check this link, you’ll see that the song used “emoticons” to make believe that people were having a conversation via whatsapp (a very popular app for iPhones and Androis). 01 – They didn’t know it was a song. Here’s what I did. 01. 02. 03. 04. 05. That’s it. The Rapid Evolution of Emoji, a Wordless Tongue. The rapid evolution of a wordless tongue.
Illustration by Zohar Lazar Consider the tilde. There it is, that little squiggle, hanging out on the far-upper-left-hand side of your computer keyboard. The symbol dates back to ancient Greece, though tilde comes from Spanish, and in modern English it’s used to indicate “approximately” (e.g., ~30 years) or “equivalence” (x ~ y) in mathematics. And, as of this year, according to a breakdown of the website emojitracker by Luminoso, a text-analytics company, the tilde was surpassed in usage on Twitter by the emoji symbol for “joy.” The Joy emoji—also referred to on the Emojipedia website as “Face With Tears of Joy” or “the LOL Emoji” (emoji don’t have official names, just nicknames created by their users)—dates back, in North America, to roughly 2011, when Apple put a readily accessible emoji keyboard in iOS 5 for the iPhone. And that’s just one emoji.
