Bob Gettings, Hokusei Women's Junior College One of the strongest features of Randall's ESL Cyber Listening Lab, developed by Randall Davis, is the variety of listening exercises for EFL learners from beginner to advanced. Each section is sub-divided by level of difficulty. Many of the shorter exercises, such as Animal Sounds, are suited to beginners or are just fun. A few of the quizzes in the most difficult sections and long conversations section might be a challenge even for a native speaker of English. Besides variety there is also volume.
Some quizes only display the score or have pop-up menus with correct answers for each question.
The site is easily navigable. All of the quizzes are accessible from the opening page. Beyond this there is a wealth of technical information, links, and tutorials designed to assist teachers to develop their own web listen-ing sites. The site is constantly under development and the FAQ, What's New, Bulletin Board and Voice Mailbox pages offer users a chance to see new developments, critique typos or minor errors, and request new directions. There were more problems with a 33,600 modem connection.
