Best+Use+of+Authentic+Audio

Have you had a great lesson this year where you used authentic audio? Share your idea here!

 * ~ Teacher's Name ||~ Idea for Authentic Audio ||
 * < Seth ||< One lesson that worked well for me with authentic audio was with an E-twinning project my students did with some trainee teachers in Canada. They were teaching my students about all sorts of handy technology things for students (PLNs, Google Docs, Podcasts etc.)

First of all though, the two trainee teachers sent over a recording of themselves introducing themselves to my students. My students had written a list of questions and things they wanted to find out about the two Canadian girls. When they sent the recordings with the answers back, my students were so interested in what these girls (just 3 years older than my students) did in their free time, what their hopes and dreams were etc that they really took on board everything else the trainee-teachers taught them.

So, my advice: Tell your class about one of your friends, get them to write some questions. Ask themn to send you four or five minutes of speech recorded especially for your class as a reply. They'll really appreciate it. ||
