Name: Randall's ESL Cyber Listening Lab
http://www.esl-lab.com/
Level and Skill: This site offers material that is useful for all levels. As the name implies, Listening is the skill that this website focuses upon.
Interactive: Slightly. There are some multiple choice questions that can be be completed with every listening sample.
ESL/Non-ESL: ESL
What makes it good?
There is a large selection of sound clips (some better than others) on this website all designed around specific contexts that make it great content for an ESL listening class. However, the value of the content in this website is primarily what the individual ESL teacher can do with it. The Pre- and Post- Listening activities suggested are ok but not comprehensive or necesarily valuable. In addition to the negligable interactivity, the onus is completely upon the instructor to form a lesson and activites around the individual sound clips, which is not a bad thing. This web site is what it is, a collection of material for ESL teachers.
