Looking for TESOL Level 3 Speaking/Listening OER Texts/Resources
Harmon, Sarah
Heyyas OER Community!
I’m working with my ESL faculty to find a good text for ESL 913, which is a Level 3 speaking and listening course. I’m attaching the course outline of record, but in a nutshell this course is a high-intermediate ESL course that interlaces reading skills with oral production. There are two publisher texts that my faculty have been using, but are increasingly unhappy with them:
- Craven, M., K. D, Sherman. Q Skills for Success 3 Listening & Speaking Student Book, 2nd ed. New York: Oxford University Press, 2015
- Miller, J.L. and Cohen R.F.. Longman Academic Reading Series Book 3: Reading Skills for College with Essential Online Resources, 1st ed. White Plains, New York: Pearson Education, Inc., 2017
We found a few options out there, but they are either too low or they don’t quite help with the skills that are being required:
- Oral Communication for Non-Native Speakers of English (Pressbooks)
- People and Places: An Intermediate Integrated Skills Module for Learners (LibreTexts)
- Speaking, Listening, and Pronunciation Projects for ELLs, Intermediate Level (LibreTexts)
That said, we’re wondering what else is being used out there, and are asking folks for their recomme3ndations. We’re seeing that there are quite a few resources for grammar/writing courses (and my ESL faculty are quickly adopting them!), but for listening/speaking courses there is a bit of a dearth. So any help would be appreciated!
I’m happy to share out any suggestions that come my way, too.
Thank you in advance,
--s
