Splendid Speaking supports advanced learners of English who want to develop their top-level speaking skills and communication strategies. Each podcast features a recording of non-native speakers of English carrying out short tasks individually or in pairs such as making presentations or taking part in discussions. Each recording contains expert feedback on the speaker's performance. Also, visit the Splendid Speaking website at splendidspeaking.com to subscribe to our newsletter which gives automatic access to transcripts of all podcasts. Students studying for IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, Cambridge CAE, CPE or BEC will find these recordings useful in preparation for their Speaking exam. We also publish a weekly task sheet giving you the chance to try a similar task and a daily quiz consisting of three colloquial expressions.
My name's Peter Travis. I host the Splendid Speaking podcasts and manage the Splendid Speaking website and www.splendid-speaking.com. I also work over at Flo-Joe the website for Cambridge exam students and co-host Flo-Joe Radio, the podcast for students preparing for the CAE (Cambridge Advanced English) examination.
I also run training courses in many aspects of using information technology in teaching and learning.
