The BBC news website for English learners is a fantastic resource!
It provides current affairs in a format and in language that is specifically geared to English learners. It is preferable to the printed form for a number of reasons, most obviously are the advantages that the internet offers to all users.
But this site provides more than giving instant convenient access to a variety of news stories from all over the world. This site gives specific guidance to English learners in relation to the stories on the page.
From pronunciation tips to funky phrasals there is a wide range of activities which are easily accessed from the links in the sidebar.
The reports themselves are written in simple, clear English that intermediate level students could understand. They are also available in audio format. Key-words in the reports are also available in audio to aid pronunciation.
A search in the archives will yield a large bank of teacher's notes and the reports that they relate to, and there is an easily accessed section packed with teacher's resources such as worksheets, lesson plans and videos.
