QT-ESL Podcasts with Explanations of Use

Below you will find the list of our episodes on the rules of English.

These interactive podcasts provide the learner with the opportunity to do the SPEAKING! with or without the scripts. You not only listen but also respond orally. This vocal training is a highly effective way of reviewing for an oral or written exam and excellent preparation for a new course or an interview. Our podcasts will help you gain confidence when "speaking" English, but remember, a learner needs to work regularly through the entire program, from the easy episodes to the very challenging ones.

"QualityTime-ESL Podcasts" are of mixed levels:

Pre-Intermediate to Intermediate (PI-I: A2-B1); Intermediate (I: B1-B2); Intermediate to Advanced (I-A: B2-C1); Advanced (A: C1-C2)

Scripts, Worksheets, and Self-Tests

Our aim is to provide all QualityTime-ESL Podcasts with free scripts, worksheets, plus Self-Tests.

We will soon offer the files of all our episodes as free downloads. This will take some time. Meanwhile, you can contact us about specific scripts you would like to have;
