The Breaking News English Podcast is a perfect site for you to check out, whether you are in the Intermediate level or the Advanced level! It helps you learn English and also learn to understand the news.

Its author takes a news item and prepares a comprehensive activity: with exercises for before, during and after you listen to the audio. You can download the exercises for free as Word docs or pdf files. You can also download the mp3 audio and/or subscribe for free to the podcast to get it in this way. There are also final tests and an on-line version of the activities. Warning: the first text is the transcription of the piece of news, so don't read it till you have listened to the news a few times! More info
