Hiya! For those students complaining about English pronunciation there's a very interesting Pronunciation Poem by the British Council at http://www.britishcouncil.org/learnenglish-central-poems-pronunciation-poem.html
I used it with my Basico 1 Students and I can tell you it's good practice and fun if you get them learn it by heart! There's also an activity after listening to it so that they can check their comprehension but remember here we just focus on sounds not meaning since it's such a basic level. You can download the audio, the text and the activity too. Have a nice week!

USING VIDEOS ON THE NET
The use of videos can prove very useful to improve your listening skills. You can find plenty of places on the net to get to use them. A very useful one is YAPPR, where you will find all kinds of short videos with transcriptions that can be shown or not at your will, both in English and Spanish. It is a free place.
They send you all new entries regularly to your email where you can browse through and find useful items for your students.
Here is the link of the last delivery we have got: http://es.yappr.com/welcome/Welcome.action
Hope you really enjoy and take advantage of it.
Cheerio!

LET´S PLAY THE MUSIC!!!
The web is full of music, take advantage of YouTube and all those sites with lyrics and invite your students to sing; you know they will improve their pronuntiation and their listening and, of course, will enjoy themselves.
You can suggest links or design any activity related to songs, included, of course, under the category of "oral activities". But you can also add others, such as "English speaking cultures" to talk about traditions and folklore. Take a look at this blog prepared for Saint Patrick holiday, it may give you some hints about how to use songs to talk about culture. But, obviously, all of you have used songs at class, we aren´t teaching you anything you don´t already know, so please, share your ideas with other people, and just as Sinatra sang, Let's play the music and dance!!!
