Use this Web site to teach students expressions that will help them learn to speak better and gain fluency in English. There are a number of different types of lessons, which follow a "Click, Listen, and Repeat" functionality. In most of the lessons, users read the sentence, select the sentence to listen to the sentence, and then practice speaking by repeating after the audio file provided by a native English speaker. This method includes reading, speaking, and listening all at the same time. The Interview section would be valuable for students to practice questions and answers for many types of interviews, from immigration and citizenship-related to employment interviews, so this particular activity focuses there, but feel free to use the many others at this site in a similar fashion.
