roddy Posted November 24, 2015 at 10:37 AM Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 at 10:37 AM Came across StoryCorps a while ago - it's a simple idea, just collecting people's stories and making them available online, either as audio or in some cases with animation. The one's I've listened to have all been short at a few minutes. They'd make nice authentic listening practice for more advanced students and there's a lovely range of (US) accents - check out the coffee on these New Jersey garbage men. Few other highlights: Coming out in the 1950s Traffic stop beating Sole survivor of a bomb blast You could build a whole hour long lesson around any of these. Videos are on youtube, audio I'm not sure. Some have transcripts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
