Should there be a rule against listening worksheets without audio?
|
|
Dear friends, Sometimes worksheets are reported for being listening exercises without audio (and therefore useless), but the fact is that there is not a written rule against that, and that is not fair. Should we add a new rule against listening worksheets without audio? In that case, how could the audio be provided? I �d love to know your opinions. Thanks for your help! |

Hi, I think there should be a rule against a listening exercise without an audio link even if there is a tape script. In my opinion a listening worksheet is only useful if there is actually a listening, something with a different voice . |

Not all teachers have recording equipment, so please don �t ban listening exercises with tapescript. A listening exercise with the tapescript provided is a perfectly valid contribution. |

A worksheet without a link or a tapescript is kind of useless. Some people offer to send the link if it is requested but we all know that members come and go. I would defintely modify the rule but not penalized old worksheets. |

I agree with cunliffe. Sometimes I have the audio, but sometimes I only have the script. In that case, I read it to my students specially the ones in a lower grade.

In my humble opinion if there is, at least, a tapescript it is ok.
But the audio links on internet are not always available, some disappear and you are left only the exercise; Youtube (if I am well informed) can �t be registered, downloaded on your computer. Other CDs or registrations are (very often) difficult to share.
The best means might be the linked registration of a text with the worksheet but I guess that there are technical problems, registration problems about the accent(s) for example.
On this site it sounds more difficult than the possible exercises on LiveWorksheets.
Hugs to all.
Maryse. |

I agree with cunliffe. Besides, sometimes the audio material is available on youtube or on other sites. So listening worksheets even without audio are still a useful material. teresasimoes |

I suggest to make it possible to send the audio files through PM. That would solve the problem! |

I agree with Cunliffe and Maryse. Without any audio link or tapescript the ws is useless. A tapescript MUST be included. If there is a link it would be a plus. And if the author accepts to send the audio file to members, that means a super-plus. Let �s not make it too complicated or complex. Listening worksheets are really useful to many people. |

I would agree that if there is a tape script included with the listening exercises, that it is sufficient. |
