Breaking News EnglishPresents News Items in
British and American English both in
written and in spoken format.
Every item is presented in an audio file as well as in a written newspaper article.
Breaking News EnglishFor every news item there are around 30-40 different kinds of exercises for the learners to engage in.
These exercises are of many different kinds and presented in different formats.
The feedback the learner gets is therefore also of different kinds, but most of it is in the form or a right/wrong answer.

Some of the content on the site is addressed to teachers of English, and some of it is addressing the students directly.

exercises are the same for every article.
They are also based on the specific article and again you are working on exactly the same text.
