Listening is the key to understanding the spoken English language, English-speaking people, and English-speaking cultures. You can't really use English if you can't understand spoken English. English Listening is a fabulous resource for language teachers and program administrators. We believe that extensive listening practice is the single most important thing a language learner can do. But providing good listening practice is not easy. We have done that for you. You don't need specialized skills or special training in teaching listening, you don't need specialized equipment: microphones, tape recorders, processing software, and all that. All you need is a computer attached to the internet, and you don't need to spend your precious time developing or searching for authentic listening materials. We have hundreds of passages of English language users talking about what interests them. Using our site is easy, it's cost-effective, and its high-quality language learning. And if you do have specialized needs, contact us. We'd love to hear from you.
