Global Voices: The sound of International English
What is Global Voices?
Global Voices is a Bonus Feature from Nice Talking with You, found only online at www.NiceTalkingWithYou.com
Global Voices is a collage of monologues that showcases the great varieties of world English. Hear British, Australian, and New Zealand accents mixed in with excellent non-native speakers from Asia, South America, Africa and Europe.
Students can practice listening to the varieties of English pronunciation, pick up new vocabulary, and extend their inter-cultural awareness.
There are 12 Global Voices features, one for every topic from Nice Talking with You. Each contains:
- an .mp3 audio file for download
- an online activity to check comprehension
- a post-listening video with a subtitled script
- and a wrap-up online survey for students to see how their opinions match opinions of other students their age.
Here’s an example: TRAVEL
