Learning English with the British Council

The British Council has a very good webpage named Learning English where we can find useful exercises four our students whether to do them in the class or to ask them to do them at home.

We want to show an example of exercises of listening.

Since listening is one of the skills less focused on throughout the course due to the time constraints, it is very recommendable to provide the students with good listening activities.

The example we present is a video about "how to ask somebody to repeat something".

What is specially good about these exercises is that they consist of the video, some preparation exercises (important!), then a task based on the video once they have watched it and finally they have the transcript available.

We want to encourage all of you to be aware of the existence of these exercises and to take them into account. They can be excellent resources for using in class, for homework or for those students who are eager to learn and improve their English level. And what's more, it's easy and for free!
