I heard about Edmonton CBC's Learning English pages at the TESL Canada conference but then I forgot about it. Fortunately, one of my colleagues mentioned it just now. There's lots of good stuff here with very clear, slow, simple English along with transcripts, well developed lesson plans, and extensive materials, all linked to the CLBs.
The materials are covered by CBC's copyright, but permission is granted to reproduce for educational purposes. It's regularly updated, and very professional. CBC Manitoba does something similar. I just wish CBC Toronto did.

Learning English with the CBC
[If you have trouble with the videos, try a different browser.]
CBC Ottawa has started putting together some self-study listening lessons. It looks like it might be useful, but right now, the videos don't seem to be working. I've tested it on both Windows and Mac. Keep checking back and let me know if something starts working.

Level 8: About plagiarism
A number of files relating to the idea of plagiarism:
- From iTunes U, a 14 minutes interview. (item 11, date 4/15/08) with transcript.
- CBC ideas: In praise of plagiarism.
- Grammar Girl's podcast (episode 252)
This talk is mostly for faculty, but some students might get something out of it.
Although it's not audio and not appropriate for EAP students, I can't resist mentioning this essay.
