EduCanon is such a straightforward and effective tool for making listening practice within and outside the classroom more interactive. If I had a pound each time I hear a classmate or tutor say the words "use authentic materials", I would be pretty loaded (I'm currently taking an MA in ELT if you don't already know). Yes, I'm on board with the whole idea of using materials that are not originally designed for language learning or teaching purposes on the condition that their difficulty level is just high enough for students to comprehend (hence Krashen's comprehensible input theory) and contextually-relevant enough that students would be able to relate and respond personally to the content. But how do we go about tweaking these authentic resources for learners to process and deduce its linguistic patterns to be able to reproduce later on? EduCanon will take this heavy load of material design off your shoulders.
