It is always a problem to find material for my students that is both at a more basic level of English but also interesting. This collection from Hitchcock is great: short, basic English, slow and clear speech, engrossing. My students will not say that they "like" these sorts of stories but they get completely entrapped by them. I play them in English with English subtitles. The only way they can try to understand the mystery is through English. It is highly effective for English students. I’m an English teacher in China.
