Original podcasts provide authentic and engaging cultural insight!
6 topics | 12 podcasts | 18 worksheets
Designed to inspire A Level students and spark advanced learning, podcasts and activities showcase challenging language in a natural and informal way.
A male and a female native speaker provide varied cultural perspectives from different target-language countries on topical issues – based on the A Level specs – to boost knowledge and generate debate.
Your students will:
- hone their listening comprehension skills and develop better pronunciation
- learn new vocabulary and grammar to reuse – including idioms, colloquialisms and key expressions
- apply their knowledge to a variety of stimulating activities
Structured learning:
Each topic is accompanied by two podcasts with transcripts of about 450 words each and three worksheets.
Worksheets 1 and 2 contain activities on:
- vocabulary and grammar
- listening comprehension (including answering comprehension questions, writing a summary, choosing the correct summary, picking the correct statements etc.)
- translation (into and from the target language)
☆ In each section worksheet 1 relates to speaker 1 and worksheet 2 to speaker 2
Worksheet 3 contains activities on:
- grammar
- speaking
- creative expression
☆ In each section worksheet 3 relates to both speakers
All podcasts and exercises are targeted at A Level topics common to all boards. Content is clearly produced by a native speaker, using plenty of topical A Level vocabulary and structures. Students will enjoy the slightly less formal style of the texts, how chatty and easy to understand the hosts are, and teachers will love the factual input on some of the ‘heavier’ A Level topics. – A Watson, Teacher & Expert Reviewer
