I want to start a thread where we can amass all of the terrific online listening content out there. If you know of a site with good resources for listening practice, post it here!

Here are a few of my favourites:

BBC Learn English
I regularly use this site in my in-class lessons. The resource is heavy on developing lexical resources, so be sure to engage it with a pen and paper ready. http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/

British Council Online
The British Council website is full of podcast resources, sample IELTS exercises and other activities. http://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/ ... s-podcasts

ELLLO.org
I had forgotten about this little gem. http://www.elllo.org is a great site with LOTS of practice listenings and accompanying vocabulary/comprehension questions. It is not IELTS focused, but I think it is a terrific place to hone those listening skills nonetheless.

I'll post more as I think of them. What are some of your favourite online listening resources?
