The 'ello' website has numerous useful resources including audio, scripts, vocabulary and speaking exercises included in each specific section. There is also a great ‘Teacher Tips’ page to give ideas of how the materials provided can be used in an ESL classroom. I think the One Minute English is particularly useful as it contains videos of English speakers around the world answering a basic question in natural English. This shows learners a large variety of different accents, which IELTS students in particular need. All the videos come with a script and quiz too.
