My dear students, here you can find different websites where you can practise listening on your own. Some of the websites include exam practice exercises. Others, however, only provide the videos but you can read the script at the same time, which, as you all know, it's good practice for your learning. Just click on the words TRANSCRIPT, SCRIPT, TEXT or something similar and get ready to improve your listening skill!
- PBS NewsHour (American English)
- ABC The World Today (Australian English)
- CNN Students News (American English)
- NPR (American English) Click on TOPICS
- VOA News (American English)
- Future Radio (British English)
- BBC Learning English (British English)
Here you have a link to a list of British radio stations. Before choosing one, please have a look at the information about the location so that you can have a go at different accents.

And, last but not least, remember that you can choose the option Closed Captions (CC) on a lot of YouTube videos. If you do so, you'll have the subtitles. Why don't you try that with the video about the weather in England we saw in class on Monday? Please, it's really important that you understand that this is automatic captioning which means that you can get something like "i heart" instead of "I heard" so not always reliable, I'm afraid.
