British Council LearnEnglish Teens | Free resources for teens to help improve... [QualityTime-ESL] : "Your English" Podcasts The complete list is given below. "Your English" podcasts are free English lessons with oral drills that will improve your spoken English dramatically—because they are "interactive", i.e. they will make you speak English! Patterns are given followed by "listen and repeat", "listen and transform" or "listen and answer", i.e. short sentences/expressions to repeat/complete or questions to answer. Please note that doing these drills orally in real-time is far more difficult than doing them as written exercises. In some cases you repeat sentences or phrases and in others you have to complete or transform sentences after hearing a stimulus. You are given the right answer orally so you can easily check your progress. "Your English" podcasts are of mixed levels: Pre-Intermediate to Intermediate (PI-I: A2-B1), Intermediate (I: B1-B2), Intermediate to Advanced (I-A: B2-C1), Advanced (A: C1-C2). Your English 01 "Introducing Myself" (PI-I: A2-B1) - Free transcript For a more complete lesson:

14 Song-Based Lesson Plans and Activities Although I know I like using music in my teaching, I never thought there would be so much of it on this blog when I started it over a year ago. Songs are fun, authentic sources with multiple possibilities in the classroom, but the main reason for having published 14 lesson plans and activities based on songs here is to a large extent due to copyright issues: while lyrics and songs are easily available for everyone online, access to other types of authentic texts is more limited because of copyright constraints. I also think the key to a successful song-based lesson is to deal with the text as you would with any other type of short text, whether written or oral, to practise a variety of comprehension skills, work on specific grammar and vocabulary, or introduce a topic for discussion. Choosing a song that meets the students’ needs is not always easy, though. Listening for specific information 1. Listening for detail: “Kilkelly, Ireland” 2. Writing a paragraph: “The Marvelous Toy” 3. 4. 5.
Shaggy Dog Stories and other mp3 recordings for English learners | Antimoon.com © Tomasz P. Szynalski, Antimoon.com Here are 10 short “Shaggy Dog Stories” in mp3 format that you can download free of charge. You can also download a story called “Going to California”. The story of the stories We got the stories from our English teacher in high school around January 1994. We listened to the tape almost every day, trying to imitate the American accent — with success. In 2001, Tom decided to make an Audio CD with the stories. Later, Tom found the owner of the recordings on the Internet (the English Teaching Forum) and contacted the magazine. How you can use the stories We think the stories can be very useful for learners of American English. Listen to the stories frequently. The stories are rather silly, but we still think they’re funny. Copyright The recordings are the property of the English Teaching Forum magazine — a publication of the United States Department of State.
