Dear visitors,

Thank you for stopping by! I set up this page a while ago to illustrate the basic idea of working with a listening journal to expose students to the types of „non-Standard“ Englishes they might be much more likely to encounter outside of the classroom. This page is thus of course not finished. Maybe it can serve as a source of inspiration for you to set up something similar for your students! 🙂

If you would like to get in touch and talk about the page, ELF, or English language teaching in general, always feel free to get in touch: carolin.zehne@uni-bielefeld.de

All the best and stay safe & healthy

Welcome to the listening journal resource webpage. You can find the videos for our respective topics in the menu above this post. Make sure to complete a journal page after each video (you can find the template here). Watching the videos should…

• enable you to encounter non-native English accents
• improve your comprehension skills when it comes to rather unfamiliar accents
• make you aware of what you might find easy or hard to understand and why

You can find the listening journal worksheet below:
