Listening Website Links

In this post you'll find links to a number of websites that offer listening lesson plans, audio files, quizzes, podcasts, games, and more.  Enjoy!

• Randall's ESL Cyber Listening Lab:  Developed by a teacher, this site contains well organized lessons divided into Pre-listening, Listening, & Post Listening sections.
  
  
• English Language Listening Online (ELLLO) :  Arranged by levels, this site provides a large selection of authentic recordings by native speakers and features a variety of accents.
  
  
• Talk English:  This website hosts hundreds of practical phrases and sentences for listening and pronunciation.  Arranged by topic, it serves almost as an online audio phrasebook.
  
  
• Voice of America: This well-known site hosts news stories read by native speakers in a slower, clearer voice.
  

• National Public Radio:  This American radio broadcasting network posts many of their news reports online, along with podcasts, live streaming radio, and other fun stuff.
  
  
• Classic Fairy Tales: These narrated fairy tales have some pictures and a little animation, as well.
  
  
• Focus English: Organized by topic, this site provides some useful phrases and sentences, but it's not very user friendly, as it requires RealPlayer.
  
  

Finally, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology has a very comprehensive and useful set of tips for your English listening skills.  It can be accessed through their Self-Access Center:  Listening Advice.
