WORKSHEETS WITHOUT AUDIO FILE OR LINK
|
|
Hello everybody! This issue has already been discussed here..... But I do feel the need to bring the subject back to the forum!? Many members upload listening worksheets with no audio file or link to download. I find it quite annoying, because they are perfectly useless. So my humble advice is DO not upload ws unless you can give your colleagues the audio file or a link. Thanks for reading this! ascincoquinas |

I once uploaded a listening activity without audio or link but it had a text which you could read to your students and that would make it a listening activity, wouldn �t it? So what �s the big deal if there �s a transcript or maybe the teacher mentioned the course which the activity was meant for? If you don �t want it, just skip it. Sophia |

@Sophia:
You have a point! When it comes to idea of using a transcript. But here in Portugal we are taught by our professors at the university that it �s best to use audio files from native speakers. My accent is not bad - so I have been told by them - but still they find that natives do help students "catch" the accent.
I was merely giving an opinion Sophia! I DO KNOW it �s up to my choice to download or not. But as a member of this site I believe I can discuss certain issues without being rude to anyone. Since I have not mention who did it, nor I have been rude to anyone, I am entitled to give an opinion.... I think!
anyway if the webmaster finds that my post is not useful I �ll delet it!

I think ascincoquinas is completely right. Having the audio files is much better than reading a transcript in class. Listening tests without audio files are completely useless. The mood is not set. I also think ascincoquinas often gives good opinions and is very wise. roberta55 |

@karagozian, probably because it isn �t illegal, just annoying. |
