前陣子準備TOEIC考試, 養成了每天看看英文網站練習聽力的習慣,
如何讓學美語有趣又能夠讓學習有效率呢?
廣播打開 ICRT 或電視打開 CNN, 聽懂了多少搞不清楚,
網站的BBC learning english又濃濃的英國腔,
所以在這推薦 2個網站, 有趣, 也有字幕 (英語資源裡有transcript的真的很少, VOA慢速版又讓人想睡覺 -_- )
1、CNet update
CNET嘛, 不過一些3C或科技新品的內容, 有興趣聽起來就不累, 而且主持人好看~2、CNN student news
針對學生的news, vocabulary適中, 而且news嘛, 有每天的時事, 聽起來不枯燥, 厲害的是有完整的字幕!

The show is designed to be used with its accompanying Daily Curriculum. Here are some suggested teaching strategies:
• After viewing CNN Student News, use the Daily Curriculum to promote listening and comprehension skills and help students discuss and understand current events presented in the program. The Daily Curriculum includes Key Concepts, Fast Facts Questions, Discussion Questions and the Media Literacy Question of the Day. The Key Concepts highlight topics that students will hear in each day's news. The Fast Facts Questions assess what facts students have gathered and how well they were listening or reading. The Discussion Questions are designed to promote critical thinking and are written for middle and high school students, but they can easily be adapted for upper elementary school classes if you feel the topics addressed are appropriate.
• Help students examine media messages and their delivery by asking them the Media Literacy Question of the Day. You can use it as a great discussion starter either before or after watching the show.
• Distribute copies of the Daily Transcript and have students read the stories.Then, click the link that directs you to a PDF version of the Daily Curriculum or weekly Newsquiz that you can distribute to your students. Have students write their individual responses to that day's Daily Curriculum or the weekly Newsquiz. This approach can be used to promote reading comprehension as well as in ELL classes.
