Skype is a great tool for ESL and other language learners from all over the world and provides cheap or free access to speakers all over the globe. Conversations can be recorded and practiced by using Skype's recording companion, Pamela. The http://www.freeconferencecall.com is also a super resource for free phone conferencing, which Skye also allows, and free recording. By dialing *9, the moderator and record the call and replay it online or download the clip. I've used the tool extensively with great success.
