Useful, interactive Prezi regarding public speaking mistakes and solutions. Probably good for Level 5 and Level 6.

Speaking and listening teachers -- this is definitely a site worth taking a look at. It will work with all the computers in the computer lab (I confirmed the new headsets worked by using it) AND all computers have headsets with mics. There are LOTS of speaking activities you can do with this!

I have done this with some success at level 1, but it could really work better for a higher level. For example, you could ask the students via the Vocaroo recording to tell you about their weekend and see how they do with the past tense. Level 2 and up is best. Hi- I was actually able to record my voice from my home computer which is not the newest. It actually scared me because I yelled "Hello Mate"! How would one make the link and email your recording to them and vice versa?

short, cute, basically wordless animated video students could describe in speaking / writing, etc.

Op-docs is a series of video interviews (some animated, some filmed, whatever) that are, obviously, opinion pieces. They're not terrible long (from about 5 minutes to 15 minutes) and cover a wide variety of topics. They would probably be a good resource for Level 5 and 6 teachers. The speaking, while mostly native speakers, was not incredibly fast. They also could be used as resources for combining ideas from multiple resources.

Fun wordless cute video. Student could describe the video in writing / speaking or whatever other creative activities you can think of doing with it.

Simon's cat -- always wordless and usually funny videos for students to watch and describe in writing, speaking, etc.

Although this is written from the viewpoint of a high school, native speaking (probably) population, from the research on adult learners, this is still true, if not more so.

Written for native speaking students but I think it applies to ESL as well. It's easy as ESL teacher, especially teaching the lower levels, to think that students can't think critically because they don't have the language skills.

Sentence stems which students can use to help structure presentations, agreeing, disagreeing, etc.

Really short, cute, wordless videos which could be used in a multitude of ways

Good for my Level 0/1 at WCC! Thanks!

Thanks Joy! Great website for beginning students -- all skills but free pronunciation practice for English specific problem areas

Cute video students could watch and describe. Good for lower levels; very visual.
