Articles for use in the classroom - many topics!

Post by G_Pook » Fri Jan 27, 2006 1:00 pm

i have finally found what i have been searching for for a long time. a website that provides articles, quite simple, but surprisingly hard (i have found) to find. i want articles for summary writing practice, comprehension, vocabulary and general reading for use with my students.
the content may be dubious (may, i dont know) but i am not getting the kids to learn the facts all i want is for them to use the text. previously, i had been using news sites but these already summarise the story or issue which defeats the purpose of my exercise.
i hope that this website will be a help to you too!
here it is:

If your students like sports, try these 5 articles...

...each one is written with pre-intermediate / intermediate students in mind, and each has follow up vocabulary and grammar exercises.
