The British Council provides a great deal of apps that help you improve your language skills. Today I will introduce one of these.
(Important! Since I own only an Android phone I will only link to the Android applications. I have no knowledge of whether these are avalaible for Apple or where to find them. If someone cares to supply the links to me I will surely add them to this post and future posts.)
Android British Council Watch and Listen
This app provides a number of videos on different aspects of British culture: there are videos about music, sports, history and much more.
Each video is accompanied by:
- an audio script, allowing you to read and listen at the same time.
- a glossary, explaining the most important difficult words.
- questions about the video, so you can check whether you really understood the video.
Each video is approximately 5 minutes long. You can also listen to the video without the audio script by tilting your phone sideways. This way you can truly focus on your listening skills.
The videos are suitable for years 1, 2 and 3, but may provide extra vocab for higher years.
