Online Arabic Listening Materials

I’ve posted a new website on my link section - Aswaat Arabiyya (http://langqtss.library.emory.edu/arabic_listening/index.html).

I was quite happy to happen upon this site and I think you’ll find it of use too. Here’s a quick blurb about the site taken from their homepage:

“Aswaat Arabiyya provides listening materials and accompanying activities that are intended for the various levels of proficiency from Novice to Superior. These listening materials have been selected from television stations throughout the Arab world and they treat a wide variety of topics and listening genres.”

It appears to be sponsored/created by the Emory College Language Center and is free of charge. It works pretty much as advertised although not everything works perfectly. I don’t know how often or even if the content updates, but perhaps we would stand a better chance of it updating if we emailed them our appreciation for the effort that was put into creating the site.
