Pods.

After checking out ESL Pod, it definitely offers resources for teachers who are looking for realistic depictions of daily conversations.  In my opinion the site offers podcasts that model dialogues using common language and phrases.  The podcasts are spoken clearly and slowly with an accompanying script with bolded vocabulary.  They can easily serve as a supplement to classroom resources.  One of the qualities of the podcasts that I found most valuable was their practicality; the themes relate to specific situations and problems that may not be found in textbooks, from obtaining a visa to dealing with a mistake to expressing emotions.  For example, Taking the Driving Test offers a realistic conversation that may occur between an experienced and an inexperienced driver, incorporating relevant vocabulary and the processes that occur [i.e. driving on the freeway].  I actually worked with an ESL student from Nepal who was about to turn sixteen and be eligible for a driving permit, which she frequently asked me about.  This podcast could be an introduction for students to prepare them for getting a driver's license.  It not only requires listening practice, but models English oral fluency for students as well.
