This is one of my favourite sites to see and use videos for my students. It’s called watchmojo and here you can enjoy free short clips in a wide variety of categories such as Automotive, Education, Fashion, Film, Food, Gambling, Health, Music, Politics & Economy, Space, Sports, Technology and Travel.
I have chosen a video about how social media can affect relationships to show you some of its contents. Ready to do some listening practice??
Another amazing tool. Blinkx claims to be the largest and most advanced video search engine. It is said to have an index of over 35 million hours of searchable video.
Users can search for video content, create personal video playlists, or build a customized Video Wall .
This is the video wall I got from typing the word: celebrities.

This site from the BBC is great if you don’t have much time and want to know what’s happening in the world.
You only need one minute and it will certainly help you improve your listening skills. Go to this website http://news.bbc.co.uk/ and then click on the small text which says Watch ONE-MINUTE WORLD NEWS, as shown in the image.
Hope you like it!!

This link was sent to me some days ago by one of my students, Jose Manuel Hildalgo. Many thanks to you for sharing!! Add it to your favourites if you are keen on music, and even if you are not, to learn some English.
How does it work? Easy !! Just click on any letter of the alphabet, and a list of all the singers whose name begins with this letter will be displayed . Click on the one you want, (strictly forbidden to click on any singer other than the English -speaking ones) and the screen will be filled with the lyrics of the song on one side and the video on the other one.

That’s the name of this superb website for pre-intermediate students to practise listening
and this is what they promise. This site is still growing and at the moment of publishing this post you could only find alphabetically-listed topic- based activities going from A to H. That’s it, you can find listenings about Airports and Harry Potter but don’t try Vegetarians yet.
You can do the quizzes about the listening on line and it also gives you some writing ideas. What’s more, you don’t even need to register. It’s completely free!!
One minute a day… that’s all they are asking and in return… you’ll be passing your listening tests with flying colours.
