9. Websites to explore
• Listening (student resource)
• Randall's Cyber Listening Lab: http://www.esl-lab.com/
This is one of the few websites that includes pre-,
during, and post- activities. It's organized by topic and
level. Students might be able to use this on their own at
advanced levels, but beginners and intermediate
students would do best with guidance.
• Listening RealEnglish video - advanced; multiple
dialects. This is authentic speech by a variety of native
and non-native speakers, so it's best for high
intermediate and advanced students. A teacher could
bring it into any class to demonstrate, however.

• Best Sites to Practice Speaking English (Larry
Ferlazzo) - high use of tech. The teacher should
