More Ideas for Y! Audio Search

This summer I began working with EFL Instructors to download Mp3’s and Podcasts to use with EFL course curriculum. These Podcasts and Mp3’s are a creative way to get students motivated to learn English using audio.

Why not use an audio clip from Y! Audio as a ‘spark’ to introduce your lesson? Or use it for the students to listen to and practice orally? The best way to learn a language is to hear the spoken word, and then practice it, right? So why not use the media that these students are using for their own entertainment? Students are all attached to mp3 players, ipods and cell phones; these are the media choices of this generation.

Instructors can download the audio files and even save them to a CD for use during class time, just in case there is a network outage (Oh No does that really happen?) or if your classroom isn’t connected. You can also download the audio files to your ipod and bring it to class. Now thats guaranteed to make you a hit with your students!
