Title: Authentic Listening Materials for Intermediate to Advanced Students
Body: Here are some recommendations for online listening resources from the TESL listserv. Literacyworks: CNN's Timeless Stories http://www.literacynet.org/cnnsf National Public radio http://www.npr.org The History Channel: Video & speeches http://www.historychannel.com/broadband/home/index.jsp Favorite Poem Project http://www.favoritepoem.org ---- The British Broadcasting Corporation has excellent guided and non-guided programming for the ESL student and teacher. The BBC's radio programming can introduce the ESL learner to a wide variety of English dialects/accents/cultures and non-native speaker inflections(for example, the Asian Network). There are several related sites for the English learner, the English teacher and teaching assistant. http://www.bbc.co.uk I have not yet seen any area of this website designed specifically for the ESL student, but with a bit of teacher preparation, this high quality programming can add a Canadian dimension to your learners' listening comprehension. Stuart McLean's Vinyl Cafe is a wonderful show that can introduce a bit of Canadian style humour and culture for the adult learner. You can get Vinyl Cafe books on amazon to coordinate/introduce with the aural materials. http://www.cbc.ca/vinylcafe Harding, T. Authentic listening sites. Teachers of English to speakers of other languages electronic list. TESL-L@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU (10 Jan. 2005). ---- Let me add the NASA site where every week one can hear and download an audio file of Dr. Tony Phillips reading his current space science article of the week. (One can also access an archive and a Spanish version! I use it to improve my Spanish!) The article appears written replete with graphics. His writing and narrating style is breezy and friendly while very informative. I recommend it for intermediate to advanced. http://science.nasa.gov Thurber, D. uthentic listening sites. Teachers of English to speakers of other languages electronic list. TESL-L@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU (10 Jan. 2005).

Title: Call for Feedback on ESL Site
Body: We've been running this interface for Japanese students for the last couple of years. http://www.manythings.org/j Since most Japanese are on fast broadband connections, this has been no problem. While I'd like to keep the site as fast as possible for less fortunate internet users still using dial up (or worse, dial-up with poor service), I'm wondering if perhaps it is not time to switch over to this interface for the rest of the world. Please take a look at this and send me your opinions. http://www.manythings.org/e (Temporary URL) I would particularily like to hear from those living in areas where the Internet connection is not so good. Please send your comments directly to me at charles__kelly@hotmaill.com (2 underscores) . Kelly, C. [NETEACH-L] Your Opinion? www.manythings.org/e/. Neteach-L listserv.

Title: New Book: Ideas and Options in English for Specific Purposes
Body: From https://www.erlbaum.com/shop/tek9.asp?pg=products&specific=0-8058-4417-1 IDEAS AND OPTIONS IN ENGLISH FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES Author/Editor:Helen Basturkmen This volume presents a range of views about language, learning, and teaching in English for Specific Purposes (ESP). Its purpose is to go beyond individual cases and practices to examine the approaches and ideas on which they are based. The aim is for readers to adopt an analytical stance toward the field and to identify current perspectives in ESP and the ideas driving them. Ideas and Options in English for Specific Purposes does not promote any one approach, but rather identifies and illustrates those in evidence today. The main emphasis is on the links between theory and ESP teaching and research. Ideas from linguistics, sociolinguistics, education, SLA, and social theories are described. Links are then made between these ideas and ESP course designs, instructional materials, and research projects. Thus the book moves back and forth between descriptions of theories, teaching practice, and research. For more information about this book, visit https://www.erlbaum.com/shop/tek9.asp?pg=search&mode=regular .
