Podcasts for listening comprehension

October 7, 2009 · 1 Comment

Today there are a few webs where you can find podcasts to get familiarised with the English language as a student.

Some of them have free access to all the podcasts and exercises. Some others charge a fee, but you can get extra materials and resources togeteher with each podcast. There are all these news sites where you can get podcasts made for a general audience, which are suitable for more advanced students such as news programmes, reports, weather forecasts, etc.

The most problematic aspect for a language teacher is to find webs with a good assortment of podcasts with a script. Scrpts allow them to prepare exercises easily and adapt the students’ listening practice to their own class necessities.

Many Europeans are used to the British accent and there are many American podcasts. Having podcasts with different aspects is good in my opinion, since the students should get used to all kind of foreign accent. However, beginners or elementary students rfind it difficult to get adpated to accents they don’t usually use in the Foreign Language class.

There is a list of Listening sites in this blog.  It includes all kind of places where you can get podcasts for your students of English. The list should be updated to each one’s needs, but it still works. Click here to get it.

ESL Video Quiz

September 15, 2009 · Leave a Comment

ESL Video Quizz is a good site to do video listening with qizzes on-line.

The videos are divided by level and categories. Just an example of what you can find for your students. I hope you like it!

Blups! I’m trying to find out why the post code does not work.

Well the WordPress support has informed me that this service is not supported by WordPress, so it’s useless to copy their code here.

EFL WEB EXPLORER: VOICE TOOLS

June 15, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Starting up voice forums and discussions for the Foreign Language Class is now possible with a couple of new tools which have been active for the last few months.

- One of them is Vaestro. This is “the first site on the internet to intiate voice discussions in a forum format”. You can talk to your friends, host interactive podcasts, or use it like an audio blog. You can even use it on your web site for free.

This software may be valuable in education as you can use it to start Asynchronous Voice Discussions, which will leave students some time to organize their ideas and prepare the points they will explain in advance. Everybody can listen to classmates voices and arguments in class or outside. In Foreign Language Learning it is a valuable tool to practise oral tasks and share them with the rest of the class group or level.

The only thing you need in order to start a FORUM is to registre, then you can use a microphone or upload an MP3 file.  You can even set up international FORUMS without having to rearrange your schedule based on timezones .

-Another good one is Voxopop, which has already been tried for language practice. The Education, Learning and Language Forum started in February 2009 and has already more than 2,000 members. There are some other language forums such as English I Talk, Talking about 6 minute English , or BBC MB members. I will start my own language practice forum with my students next year. I hope I can talk about the results then.

These two webs add to the suite of voice resources and software that many teachers have been using in their language classes so far.

I will do a quick revision to  the most popular ones:

- Audacity is some recording and sound editing software to be used off line. It is free.

- Podomatic is a  podcast site where you can record or upload your podcasts and show them in your “Podcast” (a pocast blog). It includes a new tool to create slidacasts.

- Blip TV, Odeo, iTunes, the Internet Archive, Wikiworks are webs where you can host language podcasts online to be heard in class or by your students at home. They are also useful to create slidescasts, since they provide you with the necesary URL link required in sites like Podomatic.

- Voicethread is also a collaborative tool to create podcast, text and image presentations. A good tool for collaborative work.

If you want some more information about the tools you can use for your Language Class, you can have a look at Web 2.0. an English Course, my content based course on the use of Web 2.0. to express yourself and communicate in English.

  • Randall’s ESL Cyber Listening Lab

  • Randall’s Basic Self-Study Guide

  • Free Classic Audio Books Digital Narration for the 21st Century. Whole books are also available on the internet for those who love to read along as they listen, or to download to an iPod or other device. It offers a selection of complete books whose copyrights have expired, including Heidi, Tom Sawyer, The Secret Garden, Emma, and several volumes of classic short stories.

  • VOA News have good news stories for listening with accompanying language learning apparatus .VOA has many articles of general interest in “Special English, ” which is slower and with a limited vocabulary and grammar, so it is very good for beginning adult learning.

  • English-Trailers.Com You can watch movie trailers and do exercises on them. Scripts available.

  • Cyber Listening Lab. The OWL project Nuria Casas has written a few interactive and multiple choice listening exercises for the EOI students.

  • Interesting Things for ESL Students: Listening, and their Podcasts. The front page (also called “Many Things”) has links to additional exercises based on VOA audio.

  • English as Second Language podcast
    ESLPod.com is run by a team of experienced English as a Second Language professors with over 30 years of high school, adult, and university ESL teaching experience. Dr. Lucy Tse writes scripts and story ideas for the podcasts, and records many of the dialogs and stories. The host for the podcast is Dr. Jeff McQuillan, who helps read the scripts and provides explanations for them.

  • More than just words. This particular link is a particularly interesting one and its authors mentioned that it was completely free and they wanted as many students to use it as possible as they are collecting research data through it.

  • Storynory Free Audio Stories It’s a wonderful collection of children’s stories, called Storynory:

  • Open Culture offers podcasts in many different languages and at different levels, and I guess it will be useful for those who teach languages other than English too. I tried some recordings in French and they were very interesting.

  • This I Believe offers audio and the script. I hope you like it.

Organisations (4)

  • Poets.org the site where American poets read their own poetry.

  • Listen to English. Here you’ll find most varieties of English on different topics.

  • At Watch and Listen you can watch BBC shows that come with a tapescript and a note on vocabulary.

  • At MP3 Downloading and Podcasting the BBC gives full details of the podcasts it is making available and how to download them or to subscribe to the recordings as podcasts. Most of these recordings are only available for up to a month after the date of broadcasting. The page also gives a brief description of the contents of each series. For advanced work (and personal enjoyment) I find most of these broadcasts excellent. They are not teaching materials, certainly not language teaching materials – they are about politics and the arts and life around the globe. But as listening material they are hard to better. You can listen to them on your PC or on an MP3 player

  • OM audio: Free Online Conversations

  • At Agenda web they have classified exercises by matter and language level. They all belong to other sites. The good thing about this site is that they have classified it for fast choice and delivery.

  • Yapper:HYPERLINK “http://en.yappr.com/welcome/Welcome.action” The premier community for English learners where you can Watch Fun Videos Meet People Improve Your English Contribute Contributing to the yappr.com community is an excellent way to improve the site for everyone while practicing your English.
