This is the 2nd part of a the H-2-L-E series which contains a sheet you'll be able to share with your adult English language students so they can become more autonomous learners.
Did you know that there are some absolutely fabulous channels on YouTube which students can use to practice English?
In this sheet I will focus on some of the ones geared specifically at Adult English Language Learners.
Here is a quick preview of the ones that I often share with my own students:
Jennifer ESL: http://www.youtube.com/user/JenniferESL
Mister Duncan http://www.youtube.com/user/duncaninchina
Soxo Exchange http://www.youtube.com/user/sozoexchange
An extraordinary channel consisting of people simply pronouncing common words and phrases slowly and carefully, showing learners how to do it themselves.
Learn English with Steve Ford http://www.youtube.com/user/PrivateEnglishPortal
Quirky Teaching English series of linked stories- soap opera style... however interjected with serious lessons and good clear explanations.
Business English Videos for ESL http://www.youtube.com/user/bizpod
Do you know of any other good Youtube channels aimed at teaching English? Share the information with us if they are sites which you and your students really enjoy learning from.
Miscellaneous extras:
In the spirit of not being judgmental... this, *blush* site is not at all for everyone but as some guys might have fun passing on the link to males they teach, I'll turn in the other direction while I give it to you - no... I'll say oh heck, it's tacky but good and she is teaching vocabulary... it's just her way of sharing knowledge!
Um... 278 million views.

Finally, if you teach kids or your students have them, this is a lovely site of very simple songs.
