"Je vous envoie une plateforme qui regroupe des enregistrements audio (d'environ 1'30, parfois plus longs) accompagnés de leur script pour vous entraîner pour l'épreuve de compréhension orale. Je les ai plus ou moins classés par ordre de difficulté (en fonction du vocabulaire employé, de la rapidité de l'énonciation des locuteurs, du bruit environnant), de A2/B1 à B1/B2.

Voici le lien vers les documents: https://padlet.com/felter/co20172018

Vous trouverez également de nombreux fichiers audio accompagnés de leur scrit (avec des niveaux très variés, de "level 1" à "level 6", et des vitesses de lecture différentes) ici:
https://breakingnewsenglish.com/

Pour augmenter ensuite le niveau de difficulté, je vous encourage tous vivement à écouter régulièrement des journaux télévisés ou des podcasts. Ces deux sites pourraient vous être utiles:

- pour s'entraîner à la compréhension de l'anglais britannique: http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/english/features/6-minute-english

Chaque podcast est accompagné de quelques questions, d'une liste de vocabulaire et du transcript. Si vous cliquez sur l'onglet "News Report", vous avez la même chose sur l'actualité.

- pour se familiariser avec l'anglais américain:

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/

Vous trouverez le transcript sous chaque video."

Happy holidays and see you in January 2019!
