This website has audio lessons that cover basic vocabulary for a variety of everyday
situations, including office life. Each of the pages is
designed to build communication skills, with a Listening and Discussion
activity.
The English Language Development Standards it
addresses is listening and speaking.
Age range: designed mainly for upper-beginning
students and higher
My review of the website: I found this website to be a
great resource for future teachers. It had tons of topics that were designed to
serve as a short, self-enclosed mini lesson. It wasn’t as
lively or animated as it could have been. I love how each page included a list
of commonly-used vocabulary with a recording of the words, a short quiz to test
comprehension, and a follow-up exercise for expanding students' use of the
vocabulary in a conversation with a partner or group. I think hearing the
language can be extremely beneficial to EL’s. I really liked how this could
provide an opportunity for teachers to take home an audiotape of the learners.
By doing so, the teacher can hear and evaluate their student’s oral language
skills. Overall, I found this website extremely helpful for beginning
teachers. It gives teachers the
opportunity to assign students to listen to the vocabulary and practice
pronouncing the words on their own.
