Loudlit.org- Reading literature aloud

Loudlit.org
What's this?
This is an online collection of some classical pieces of literature accompanied by audio files. You can either download the audiofile(MP3) or listen to it in streaming.

Texts available
The collection is still quiet limited but hopefully will be expanded in the future. Authors such as Mark Twain, Charles Dickens and Edgar Alan Poe are available and you can choose to read and listen to poems, novels or short stories.

How can be used in language learning?

In my opinion, this site is more suitable to be used by autonomous learners at home as a component for improving their pronunciation. It is also an excellent way to introduce learners to some english and American Literature. Furthermore, it would be interesting to use it in a reading classroom activity or a literature lesson. The lively reading by native speaker would stimulate your learners' interest and improve their reading and pronunciation skills.

Limitations

The list of texts is rather limited and you might be concerned of which text is suitable for your learners' level.
