Listening

Listening tasks need to refer to an audio source or video. Sound files can be uploaded if they are in "ogg" format. These are easy to make if you are using the open source sound software : Audacity and save the file using export "ogg vorbis" [[Media:Welcome.ogg]] unfortunately the player will appear on a separate page at the moment, and it will only play in firefox which has native support for ogg.

Video instructions in german: http://krefeldwiki.de/wiki/Hilfe:Video adding an extension to do this at the moment.

Look at the edit page to see how it's done...

The blog English for Law has long been an excellent source of listening materials, and much of the suggested material in the "listening" category of this wiki is drawn from there. Some general sources recommended by that excellent blog are: This Australian radio program with mp3 downloads:- http://www.abc.net.au/rn/lawreport/ The University of Chicago Law School: - look under video and audio CLick on "listen or read" for transcript and mp3 at Legal Lad... a podcast with a very interesting choice of topics: - http://legallad.quickanddirtytips.com/
