Cool listening comprehension content

Published 25 September 2005

Here’s a 3 minute L/C segment that’s extraordinarily cool for a couple of reasons:
+ It’s by Dave Weinberger, who’s a co-author of The Cluetrain Manifesto, web 2.0 thought leader, and an all around brilliant dude
+ It’s about tagging, which should be interesting for most Business English students (and teachers)
+ Dave’s post has links to the audio, plus a transcript
+ Most importantly, it’s a example of excellent communication - clear, simple, to the point, and with examples. Your students will understand the essence of why tagging is important, and know how to try it (which you could do in class). As a communicator, I know I have a tendency to overcomplicate things and try to say too much…this mini-presentation is an example of how not to do that.
