Task:
- Got to: http://news.bbc.co.uk/
- At the top of the page you'll see a small text which says Watch ONE-MINUTE WORLD NEWS
- Click on it and chose the type of media player for your computer
- Watch the news broadcast and try to decide how many seperate stories are being reported
- Watch a second time a make notes of as many facts as you can about each story.
If there's a story that interests you find that story on the site and try to find out more details.
I hope you enjoy this activity. Come back tomorrow for more EFL ESL activities to improve your English.
Best

Nice link to the BBC. I'll definitely pass this on to my students in the hope that they will stay on the site and read/listen to more. Thanks!
Thank you! It's amazing how we forget about good, solid basics like the BBC News. I do an 'It's all in the News' workshop with engineering students, so this will be a great activity for my first lessons where we work on being autonomous learners.
The Educational Clip Library will go on the list too :)
