NPR (National Public Radio) is an internationally acclaimed producer and distributor of noncommercial news, talk, and entertainment programming. NPR serves a growing audience of 26 million Americans each week in partnership with more than 800 independently operated, noncommercial public radio stations. Each NPR Member Station serves local listeners with a distinctive combination of national and local programming.
With original online content and audio streaming, this site offers hourly newscasts, special features and 10 years of archived audio and information (back to 1996). Students who are interested in current international issues should visit this useful site. By clipping archives, students enter the webpage where they can choose the topics they feel interested, or the programs provided online. Students can listen to the stories through the means of MP3, Windows Media Player, or Real Player, and they can download listening materials. On the archive webpage there is a calendar from which visitors can find the corresponding programs of a particular day directly and easily.
I think that teachers can recommend this site to students as an up-to-date resource to expand vocabulary and to enlarge knowledge.
