Ideas.

I would create a podcast in which I would include some videos of native speakers conversation in order to improve the students' listening comprehension and some music videos too in order to catch students' attention and get them involved in the activity they are in. Also I would add to this podcasts some interesting reading to help students to understand authentic texts and also helping them in the acquisition of new vocabulary.
