TEFL.net Site Of The Month ~ Breaking News English

Updated twice a week, Breaking News English is an excellent whole language resource for ESL teachers. The site features extensive, well-organized lesson plans based on current events around the world. Each graded lesson has a downloadable listening component, allowing teachers to play the clip in the classroom or assign the listening task for homework. The lessons also include an article, a warm up, and a pre-reading section, followed by listening, reading, writing, and extension activities. Teachers can save themselves hours of prep work by supplementing their coursework with Breaking News English lessons.
