Useful Online Resources to Learn English
A really outstanding free site that has high-intermediate listenings
that you can listen to online or download as MP3s, AND complete transcripts! You can read and listen at the same time.
Started
by an American school student, this site has thousands of copyright-free online texts, ranging from "memorable quotes" to
prose to "stories around the world", many of which are accompanied by audio of students or teachers reading the texts aloud.
Fascinating,
hip, expertly-crafted stories, most of which are true investigations, and a few fiction, including regular work by writers
including David Sedaris. Can buy downloads of individual episodes, or listen for free using streaming audio. Has been used
by dozens if not hundreds of educators. Great for listening tasks for students.
A
science radio archive from the U.K. that delivers streaming audio of many, many
episodes that are filled with content that appeals to ages from primary school through college and beyond. Very clear, likeable
show, interesting and great for listening exercises. Looks like they are planning to allow downloadable audio soon.
