This is your place for EFL/ESL audio files and activities based on sound. It’s the only web site where you can find audio that’s classroom-ready, meaning you can just copy the mp3 files, play the sound files in class, and you’ve got an efficient listening activity. Most of the time you don’t need any additional materials or much preparation.

Variety is the word. You’ll find a big range of audio here, from short World English interviews to podcasts to Sound Effect Dictations. And of course there are tons of songs.

You don’t need to register, pay for anything, or look at any advertisements.

To learn more about the what we offer browse through About. You’ll find instructions and some theory, like why you should use more listening in the ESL/EFL classroom.

Be sure to try out some Recycle Songs. These are very brief songs (10 seconds to 2 minutes) which, at first, can be used as listening activities. But you’ll also find models to help students write new words to the song, and a karaoke version–no singing–which can be used again and again, time after time, theme after theme.

If you have comments, I’d love to hear from you, please contact me.
