I'm looking for some links that students can listen or watch the news online, and then do some writing.
Does anybody know of mainstream news links that I can direct them to?

Thanks.

Click WATCH and Teacher TV on EFL Classroom 2.0

Lots of news stations and also an international radio player for audio only. I like using Click the BBC also Newsround but the video there has been discontinued.

PM me with an email address and I can send some old newsround reports. Student told news and cool, not the regular political stuff. But lots of news in the player.

Another option is Livestation -- new microsoft offering that has BBC and Al Jazeera streamed. REally good quality and I sure hope they don't start asking for us to pay!

Fecking hell! I got ttompatz AND ddeubel as the only two responders! This could be locked and made a viable sticky as it is now.
Thanks guys.

The country doesn't really matter. What matters is the speed at which the newscasters speak. The best speech rate I've found was nakednews...but as you can imagine, the visuals were a little distracting. I do want them to experience different accents too. They can compare which are the most understandable.

I definitely want comtemporary news, not archives, because I want the boys to be able to discuss what's happening now.
