In order to watch the video, you will need to download the free RealPlayer to your computer first. This will also give you experience with downloading files from the Internet. RealPlayer is a free audio/video player for Internet files. It lets you listen to and view news events from all over the world, music, entertainment, sports, etc. It's an excellent tool for your ESL/EFL Listening class, and we will experiment with it more when we focus on using the Internet for CALL. The download will take 18 minutes for a 28.8 modem, less if you have a faster Internet connection. Please be patient.

Print out these instructions first.
2. To get the Free RealPlayer,
also called Basic RealPlayer, click
