Listen to English - learn English! - The podcast website for people learning English This is one of the school meals which Martha Payne photographed for her blog. She had carrot soup, pasta with meat and vegetables and more carrot, and yoghurt. Today we visit Scotland, to find out what a Scottish schoolgirl thinks of her school meals. Martha Payne is 9 years old. Martha is interested in the food at her school. Children in other schools, and in other countries, started to read Martha’s blog. And at this point, the bureaucrats who run the education system in the part of Scotland where Martha lives became aware of her blog. Martha’s headteacher told Martha the bad news, and Martha was sad and wrote a final blog post to say goodbye to her many readers. At this point, we will make a little diversion to talk about football. Well, the bureaucrats who decided that Martha had to stop her blog did not want people talking about the school dinners in their schools. I like stories with a happy ending.

EdListen Teaching listening – example lesson world cup This post was inspired by a listening lesson I did twice with two different elementary level 1-1 students last week. It is based on the listening from Breaking News English which you can find here. I decided to do something different from what the lesson plan on the website suggested, and devise my own procedure, taking into account the 15 listening tips I wrote about last month: “Planning a listening lesson – 15 tips”, which try to take you beyond the standard CELTA approach. First, please read through the lesson plan below and identify which of the 15 listening tips I used when designing the lesson procedure. Lesson procedure Lead-in: Are you enjoying the World Cup? Listening for gist: Don’t worry about understanding every single word. Speaking: Do you share the speaker’s opinion? Relistening: What was difficult about the first listening? What new information did you learn after the second listening? Vocabulary: What words do you associate with football and the World Cup? Reflection:

PodOmatic | Podcast - Learn English - ESL Lessons from ILAC LibriVox Listening Exercises Better@English _Video and audio To learn to speak fluent English, you need lots of exposure to spoken language coupled with opportunities to use what you’re learning. Many learners think that going to a traditional English course is the best way to learn. But you can also learn English very well on your own, without spending a lot of money. Before you sign up for a course, why not make the most of the audio and video resources for English learning that are widely available online? Jump directly to the list of resources. There are many advantages to using audio and video compared to going to a traditional English class. You can go at your own pace, and do as much or as little as you have time for. English is such a widely spoken language that the possibilities for finding great content are practically limitless. Do not skip this step. Using a good looping audio player will make it much easier and more efficient for you to learn from the audio resources that you use for listening practice. Put your learning into practice
20 SITES TO IMPROVE YOUR LISTENING | onlinelanguagecenterblog Listening is difficult for most learners. The first thing I hear from students who have traveled abroad is, “Americans talk so much faster than you do”. As teachers, we tend to talk a bit slower, with more enunciation and emphasis on intonation. But are we doing students a disservice with this habit? I know after teaching in Brazil for over 10 years, I speak much slower, so much so that when I call back to the states, people ask if I’m ok or worse, dying as they notice my rate of speed while talking is dramatically less rapid than before I left. Since building the Facebook group “English Students worldwide”, every day I receive a text or email from learners asking for help with their fluency. Surely, you as students should be doing more outside of class to improve. Podcasts and audio streams are far from new, but the best thing about them are the sheer numbers that exist on almost every subject. There are thousands of sites to get great podcasts. Like this:
