Cambridge Advanced Learners’ Dictionary
There is a large variety of dictionary apps available, most of them more affordable than this one (lots are even free!), but this dictionary is certainly more affordable than its print version. Definitely worth the price.
-

Oxford Deluxe Dictionary and Thesaurus of English
It is probably one of the most expensive apps available for English learners, but there are none more comprehensive than this one. This app basically contains the complete Oxford Dictionary, plus the thesaurus, with the added audio feature.

BBC (Online)
The news broadcasting site offers a lot more than news articles and reports.Advanced ESL students may take full advantage of the BBC’s World News TV service, with hundreds of short videos and programs to watch. The video page has one-minute world news reports, plus plenty of other short videos on business, science and entertainment.
-
2
BBC (Radio)
BBC Radio is a separate service that allows users to listen to radio programs online or with a mobile app. There are countless radio programs to choose from, but I recommend starting with the categories page. There students will be able to choose from news, sports, entertainment or documentary programs to listen to.
-

CNN.com
Like its British counterpart, CNN provides an excellent video channel, on which students are able to catch the latest news. CNN also offers a podcasting service with shows for a wide variety of interests. And there’s more. CNN offers transcripts for some of these very same shows, giving students an additional resource to improve listeningskills with.

Repeat After Us
Repeat After Us was created by a high school student with a true love of literature.Here, students will find a variety of recorded texts, classified into three categories:beginner, intermediate and advanced. There is a lot of original material in this site, so for listening practice, students should go to recorded texts, and from there choose poetry, drama, prose or even children’s short stories if the previous categories prove to be too difficult. Listening practice and English literature combined!
-
5
CBC Podcasts
The Canadian broadcasting company has an astounding variety of news, sports, and entertainment programs – and a whole lot more. Students may download the MP3 file or subscribe via iTunes so they won’t miss any of their favorites.

NPR
National Public Radio offers 24-hour Program Stream or Hourly News summaries students may want to listen to. Additionally, it offers podcasts on topics that range from animals to world news.
-

The British Council
There are some great podcasts that can be downloaded from the British Council’s website. All of which feature native speakers and come with a script students may choose to read as they listen.
-
8
Newsy
Of all of the websites that offer news reports on video, Newsy is my favorite because they offer the transcript directly below the video, a big plus for ESL students. Still, students may choose to display the transcript or keep it hidden for more challenging listening practice.
-
9
The Weather Channel
You’d think The Weather Channel offers mostly the weather forecast on video, but it provides a lot more than that. It has very interesting TV shows, like the fascinating Hurricane Hunters, which are great for adventure-seeking students. The clips are short and the audio that is difficult to hear due to weather conditions is subtitled.

Schackne Online
For additional sources of authentic listening material, students may visit Schackne Online. This website offers a very comprehensive list of listening resources, including links to video sites, like YouTube and UStream, and podcasts, like CBS Radio Mystery Theater, a show that students who enjoy a good mystery will enjoy. Schackne Online also lists podcast directories like Podbean. The number of video sites and podcasts is staggering. Please be advised that some of this content may not be appropriate for all audiences. Adult students should be warned and proceed with caution when choosing a video channel or podcast (some comedy shows may have offensive language, for example). Children should not be selecting podcasts or any type of audio material on their own.

Videos
Vídeos no YouTube
Há milhares de aulas em vídeo nos mais diversos temas no ensino de idiomas, mas recomendamos uma consulta ao seu professor em relação aos mais confiáveis, pois grande parte não foram produzidas por profissionais, com erros graves e fundamentação muitas vezes desmotivadora.
Filmes e seriados:
- Com áudio e legenda em inglês a partir do nível 3A.
Recomendamos evitar assuntos técnicos nesta fase, tais como ER, House ou CSI, por exemplo.
- áudio em inglês, sem legenda a partir do nível 6A (assuntos simples inicialmente).
