Learn English by Radio: Dragnet - Episode 188: No Big Tooth

Highlighted features include:

► Dual Speed Audio
Don’t you sometimes wish native English speakers would JUST SLOW DOWN? We do, so we’ve enabled Learn English by Radio to play audio at two different tempos: Original Speed, as it’s meant to be heard, and Slow Speed, which is much easier to understand. Slow Speed will help you develop an ear for spoken English. Once you develop that ear, you can listen to the episode at Original Speed.

► Transcript Displayed along with Audio with Replay Options
Asking a native English speaker to backtrack and repeat words that you missed can be a major pain in the you-know-what. But with Learn English by Radio, it’s no problem. If you miss something, simply pause the audio, scroll back through the transcript and replay it. Then fast-forward the transcript to your original position.

► Definitions, Idioms, Slang and Grammar Notes
Many ESL students have trouble understanding idioms, slang, complex vocabulary, and strange pronunciations. These issues are compounded by imperfect grammar, which some LAPD officers (and most native English speakers) regrettably suffer from. Learn English by Radio helps you master difficult words and phrases by highlighting and explaining them. Simply click on a highlighted word and the audio will pause while a definition or explanatory note appears on your screen. Close the link and the audio resumes.

Good point Lucy! For me the interest is for language learners - if they use this site, slowly they build up their confidence and realize that yes, they can read the abstracts instead :-) reading is always good practice. For academics, it is likely that this has little interest but for learners, it's great as another activity.
Lucy Georges's comment, November 28, 2012 7:54 AM
Thanks for the reply. Indeed, some of my more advanced students might like to have a go at summarizing one or two articles. I'll bookmark it.
Ana Cristina Pratas's comment, November 28, 2012 8:27 AM
Hi Lucy, glad that you may take the site into consideration and try it out with your students. Sometimes I collect activities/tasks/sites which work well with some students but not necessarily with all. On the other hand, I prefer to be able to pull up sites like these and see how learners react/deal with the tasks. Always a challenge, always a surprise :-)
