Activities for any Listening Text Document

(TESOL Ideas--Activities That Can Be Used with Any Listening Text)

Google: docs, pub

[Recently I've put a collection of all my "activities that can be used with any listening text" ideas into one document for the purposes of sharing them with my colleagues.  I've shared all these activities before on this blog (here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here), but having them all on one Google Doc is just a lot neater and easier to share than my blog indexes.  So I've decided to also make this document available on my blog.]
