Hi Linganth Folks,
Here's some of my playlist selected by a US student consultant and me last May for use with international students--undergrads using conventional resources such as Blum's Making Sense of Language and Finnegan's and Rickford's Language in the USA.  These are short courses that also incorporate videos and other media materials.  The students use English as an academic language and are up on youth culture.  Last summer's favorite activity was a small group project analyzing and contextualizing MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech (americanrhetoric.com is another useful resource that boasts "5000+ full text, audio and video versions of public speeches, sermons, legal proceedings, lectures, debates, interviews, other recorded media events, and a declaration or two.")
Best,Maggie
