Does anyone know of a website that teaches speaking and listening skills? Like through audio players or movies or something? I'm especially looking for something that can be used by young learners: 5-10 year olds.

Mr. Sperling suggested this site in a recent article in ETP Magazine:

1 Beginning-level listening

http://esl.about.com/library/courses/blcourses_beginner_listening.htm

Activities include songs, spelling, numbers, time and ordering in a restaurant. This is especially useful for children.
