On the British Council website Learn English there is a section called Listen & Watch <http://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/listen-and-watch> http://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/listen-and-watch which has a lot of audio recordings and podcasts on different topics. In the Magazine you will find recorded programmes on a wide range of topics: environment, science, sports, magic etc. These come with transcripts and are suitable for post-intermediate students. There is also also a series of Elementary podcasts and these are accompanied by transcripts and support packs which can be dowloaded and used in class. BBC World Service also has a section called Words in the News with short news reports, accompanied by transcripts and key words explained. <http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/> http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/ All the best LEO ------------------------------ From: ETNI list <etni.list@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 10 Oct 2011 11:14:34 +0200 Subject: [etni] Fwd: audio news in English Subject: audio news in English From: michael Shine <shine.michaelj@xxxxxxxxx> Hi Can anyone please recommend a website that features audio news in English with a written transcript?
