Many ELT student books come with audio scripts at the back. However, these are sometimes not exploited to the full. Here are 25 ideas for how to make better use of this resource. There are suggestions for using the audio script before listening to the audio, while listening to the audio and after listening to the audio.

  1. Some really nice ideas here, some of which I’ll try out this week- learners have so many problems with listening 🙁

  2. Hi Michelle

    Some good ideas here – obviously, we are familiar with all of them (!), but it’s good to be reminded once in a while.

  3. Dear Sir/Madam,

    I am wondering if there are any contests about creative teaching in English held by OUP. And I really want to write an article about my real teaching writing in English to OUP, yet I do not know who I should send it to. It would be my great pleasure if you can give me information related to my concerns.

    I look forward to your reply

    Your sincerely Ta Lien

  4. After the feedback done for the first semester students’ achievements, we decided to include more teamwork and videos and audios scripts, So this is perfect for my unit plannings for the second semester, clear and very well organized, thank you.
