I have spent time researching to filter out less useful video.

Here is some of my guidance.

controversial discussions led by an ESL instructor, international discussants

voa news
listening only, have to download a file, content is more sophisticated, news items read slowly and clearly

eduplace
commercial site from Houghton Mifflin, but very helpful and completely FREE, listening, vocabulary, and spelling, all rolled into one! Designed for kids, but anyone can benefit at a beginning/low intermediate level! Many, many exercises here.

kidsrcool
click “pronunciation games” -you listen to British English pronunciation and click on the right answer, beginners only

I know that
drag and drop listening activities for kids, but anyone can use
an annoying pop-up asking you to register appears, just click on “Maybe Later” and you’ll automatically proceed to the exercise

iTunes

mostly audio, some video

You must download the itunes software to access the directory and podcasts. There is some good material here. Most of it is free.

Audio can be downloaded to a computer or mp3 player. This means students can use there time more efficiently by listening when commuting, exercising, cooking, in waiting rooms, etc.

Your images may look a little different, due to computer type and version of the itunes software.

When you open the itunes software:

1. Go to the itunes store & click podcasts

2. At the upper right hand corner, type in the search box: ESL

3. Click on “podcasts” (lower right area)

4. You will now see ESL podcasts (audio/video programs) for students

5. Click “more results” in the bottom right-hand corner for more listings

6. Try various searches, for example, try searching for "esl pronunciation"

You will see some music in the listings that has nothing to do with ESL - just ignore those

Hope this was helpful
