Literacy Net - Videos containing news and other news-type stories from CNN-San Francisco with exercises for listening, reading, vocabulary, and grammar.
Real English
- A very
well-made series of videos and related exercises. They are mostly
interviews with people on the streets of various world cities, informal in
nature, and more-or-less focused on a particular grammar point.
The website is a collaborative, ongoing project done by English teachers
from around the world. The project was started by Mike Marzio of the
Marzio School of
English in France.
Access requires registering for a password, but you don't have to pay
anything.
