THE LORD OF THE RINGS - video activity + KEY
I�ve selected this scene from "The Lord of the Rings" because I think it�s perfect to practice the pronounciation of the regular verbs in the simple past. The narrator�s pronounciation is definitely clear, and students usually love the story. One of my students did it perfectly because he knew the dialogue by heart (incredible, isnt� it??).

Little Britain - "Carol Beer in Spain" - LISTENING activity
Since Little Britain is a well-known comedy series, it�s rather funny and this episode makes fun of the British-Spanish people stereotypes, I�ve used it with my students to put all these things into practice, together with the listening practice in itself.
I�ve divided it into three parts, each one of them related to the 3 parts of this episode....
