Looking for downloadable material, good material, I found this site about podcasts.

The site is called http://www.eslpod.com and here i’m just going to copy the description from their site about their awesome learning guide…

What is the Learning Guide?
The Learning Guide is an 8 – 10 page guide for every future podcast. The Learning Guide includes all of the following:

  • Complete transcripts (ESL Podcast and English Café)
  • Definitions
  • Sample sentences
  • Comprehension questions
  • Additional explanations
  • Cultural notes
  • Tips on improving your English

How do I download a podcast to my computer or MP3 player?
The easiest way to is to subscribe to the podcast with free software such as iTunes.

You can also download the individual files from our website:

  1. RIGHT-click on the Download button. (for Mac: CTRL-click).
  2. For Internet Explorer: Select Save Target As… (for Firefox: Save Link As).
  3. When you see the Save box, note where you are saving it and click Save.
  • Find the downloaded file and double-click it or import it into your computer’s audio player.
    • I downloaded the material by just right-clicking on it and it’s just perfect.
    The site is designed as a way to improve your english skills individually but it’s perfect for teachers as well.
    =)
    Enjoy.
