Mod 12: Podcasts

I found a podcast on ESLpods called Ordering Soups and Salads.  It is the 639th installment of ESL minilessons.  Others include Planting Flowers, Firefighters, and Moving Out of a Home.  This episode includes a short vignette between a restaurant customer and a waiter.  There is some introduction, some dialogue, and then a breakdown of the exchange.  This site, and these podcasts, can be used in my teaching as a source for slow, well-enunciated English-language exchanges.  I would not use the podcasts as lessons, but the dialogue can be used to build a lesson around.

  1. This series of podcasts sounds like a good start or a good wrap-up for a lesson. Students could also produce their own podcasts on the same theme to see how well they absorbed the concepts presented.
