New Learning English site
The BBC's excellent Learning English site has had a makeover.
Among the changes is a new option to download the audio for the Words in the News section, the archives for which go back to 1999. You also have the 190+ episodes of The Flatmates, a section on pronunciation, plus a section for teachers.
It's definitely a site to recommend to your learners (and perhaps suggest that they make it their default home page) but it also has things you could use in class.
Learning your phonetics
Ever wanted to shoot your phonetics teacher…? This may be the next best thing!
If you found learning your phonetic symbols tough, you might find the phonetics games at CambridgeEnglishOnline useful.
You can also design and print phonetics flashcards on the same site.
