  • 1.  Oral/Listening Resources for University Level ESL students

    Posted Apr 09, 2013 02:01 PM

    I keep getting requests from English as a Second Language Instructors at my university, asking for audio resources for their students. Frankly, we don't really have any. It seems that they are looking for audio or video of college/university lectures (or something similar) that would be basic enough for their level and might even include some further activities (conversation questions, activities, worksheets or even quizzes)? Any ideas of free stuff online? I've pointed them to the Kahn Academy, but I'm not sure where else to look and could really use some help!


     


    Thanks,

    Hi, Liz,

    I don't know how I missed this-- sorry!

    Mango Languages has online programs like this for ESL students. It's not a course, but more like support. They contacted our International Programs Office here at UMass Amherst, but I don't know what came of it.
