It is sometimes difficult to find some extra listening material. Fortunately, nowadays we can use different tools to solve this problem.
This is an example of a podcast, a very useful resource for those of us who want to improve our listening skills. There are many podcast websites where you can learn English or, as a teacher, use them for listening excersises in class. But not all of them are easy to embed on your blog. My advice is to use Ivoox.com if that's what you want to do. Apart from being easy to embed, there are also many podcasts from different websites. You simply search the type of audio you are looking for and choose among the results.
In this particular one we can also have access to some extra material by visiting the BBC Learning English site, where you will find the vocabulary used in the audio as well as a transcript.
If you find yourself wanting something more difficult, an advanced level, you can also listen to Online Radio Stations, where the English is more everyday like and casual.
- National Public Radio
- Voice Of America (You can find lots of easy podcasts to embed here too)
- BBC

Have you ever used a podcast in class? Was it a positive experience? If so, which type of podcast did you use?
