For teachers

These podcasts can be used in your classroom or computer lab to supplement course book listenings. The conversations are authentic and so the language is more natural. They therefore provide a refreshing alternative to scripted listenings.

In addition:

  • the worksheets include pre-listening activities that students can do individually or in pairs / groups
  • there is a range of different listening tasks and listening skills including pronunciation
  • there is a range of accents with conversations between native and non-native speakers of English
  • there is a range of topics that can be linked to course book units
  • there are vocabulary worksheets which consolidate the language in the podcasts, ideal for homework or follow on lessons
  • there are webquests for CALL work
  • there are vocabulary worksheets that are linked to the topic of the podcast, ideal for homework
