Korean Job Discussion Forums

[noguri]

I teach in a university where I have some conversation classes in which the students are English majors. The students blow me away, they are way above the level of the average Korean university student.

I'm trying to come up with ways to challenge them. One way is a restaurant review. WHat examples can I provide for students?

Well, scrounging up reviews online, I found actual podcasts that can be downloaded in MP3 format. Food critic Frank Bruni has a weekly podcast that is online!

SO I can develop listening exercises for the students with the podcasts.

Also, there are podcasts of ALL types on the website! NY Times editorials, theater and broadway musicals, current events, you name it!

CHECK IT OUT YOU PEOPLE! THis is the best ESL resource for advanced learners that I have yet to come across:
