ESL bits

Principal function(s): Audiobooks

This website offers to English teachers and students different audiobooks and audio stories in English together with their transcriptions. All the audio materials are available for listening online (no downloading option). Evaluation: This site offers a wide range of good-quality audio content which is well organized into 6 sections: classics, novels, novellas, short stories, intermediate material, and advanced material. It is also interesting that, for every audio, there is a faster and slower version.

Cost: Free without registration
