How to Learn English by Vodcast

Modern technology such as the Internet and personal audio and video players can be used as powerful learning tools. There are a number of free resources available to download or view online for students learning English as a second language. Some of the most useful of these come in the form of vodcasts -- podcasts in MP4 or another video format with moving images or slide shows.
