Channel One News is the leading television news network for teens in the US.
Their aim is to inform, educate and inspire teenagers by making news relevant and engaging for young people and sparking discussion around the important issues impacting youth today.
There are many things in store in Channel One for English speakers in general and for intermediate-to-advanced English students in particular, but I would like to draw students' attention to Channel One's daily news broadcast.
Each news programme lasts around 10 minutes and it is divided into three parts of approximate duration. You can easily find it on the VIDEO section of the webpage. What is really interesting for English students is that Channel One provides subtitles for the programme through the CC button on the video player, and it also provides the transcript for each news programme. You can download the transcript by clicking on SCRIPT in the TEACHERS tag.
If you are preparing an exam like the Intermediate or Advanced Certificate exams at EOI, where the listening papers revolve around authentic material, make a point of dropping by Channel One News and watch a news programme once in a while.
I hope you enjoy it.
