We release short articles every day based on real news stories from around the world. We create lessons from these articles by introducing useful vocabulary and presenting discussion questions to get you thinking about what you've read.

Daily News lessons cover all sorts of topics, from arts and entertainment to science and technology. And just like our other materials, there are lessons for a variety of levels, so everyone from beginners to advanced learners can find something to study with.

While learners can study with Daily News alone, we recommend studying with a tutor to get the biggest benefit.

To get a taste of Daily News, try searching for your favorite topic in the search bar in the upper right section of the page. We've also posted several articles on our blog that introduce Daily News lessons based on special themes:

Our IELTS materials were made by an IELTS examiner and university professor with over 20 years of English-teaching experience. Exercises in each lesson target the four skills that test-takers are scored on (pronunciation, fluency, vocabulary and grammar) in addition to introducing useful expressions that can be used during the test itself.
