NICE Program: Listening Skills for Learners of English: Useful Links for Practicing Listening

Here are some places to work on listening online!

• Take some quizzes at Randall's ESL Listening Lab. This is the biggest and best listeng practice site for ESL I know of. It has quizzes for all levels.
• There are several good practice activities for different levels in the free guest area of the The English Listening Lounge.
• Todd's English Language Lab has some nice four-part exercises.
• You can also find some interesting activites at ESL Wonderland.

Here are some nice collections of "links" to other listening sites:

• Go to the ESL Study Hall's listening section to find links to a variety of web sites for listening practice.
• There are a lot of links to listening activities at The Internet TESL Journal's listening page.
• Dave Sperling's ESL Cafe has several links to listening sites and provides ratings by visitors! Check out some and add your ratings at ESL Cafe Web Guide: Listening.
• Ohio University's Ohio ESL has also compiled a nice set of links to listening sites, designed for ESL and for general audiences. This is one of my favorite sites, not only for listening, but for all aspects of ESL. Check out the homepage as well!
• The ESL Independent Study Lab links to many sites to practice. The sites are arranged by difficulty.

Other interesting places to practice listening, not specifically for ESL:

• National Public Radio (NPR) has many shows archived and transcripts available online.
• See if you can find words to your favorite Engish songs at http://www.lyrics.com/!
• Want scripts for a movie or TV show? Try Script-O-Rama!

These are are only a few sites to help you get started and enjoy practing English online. Try your own searches and let me know if you find any other useful sites! Aloha, John

This site has nothing to do with studying English, but you can help feed someone for free!
