Syntax Untangler is an online activity that asks the learner to visually mark up a short primary text in any language, in order to improve small-scale reading skills. Any instructor can easily create and publish their own Syntax Untangler content (go to the Instructor Tools link). Players get instant feedback about whether they found the right answer(s).Syntax Untangler is particularly designed for training language learners to recognize and parse linguistic features. Here are some things you could ask your students to do:* Identify the parts of a separable-prefix verb within a German sentence.* Draw where a syntax structure begins and ends in a short Chinese text.* Mark and differentiate all the instances of alliteration, consonance, and assonance in a bit of poetry.* In a bit of Java code, point out all the statements in a loop that might increment the loop counter.Content authors (instructors) have full control over all text elements in the interface, so the experience can be 100% in the target language. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=673217 'For all the fans of Alice in Wonderland, discover this amazing graphic novel adaptation of the original story by Lewis Carroll.

It tells the story of a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar and anthropomorphic creatures. The tale plays with logic in ways that have given the story lasting popularity with adults as well as children. It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre, and its narrative course and structure have been enormously influential, especially in the fantasy genre.״This is a free app http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=673219 '46 page comic - "The Canterbury Tales״, a work by 14th-century English writer Geoffrey Chaucer, is one of the most important pieces of literature ever.
