German term or phrase: Medienbeitrag
I am talking about a course in which teachers can learn how to use authentic materials ( radio spots videos etc.) in their English lessons. This is the sort of thing they mean (see list) and in the introductory text it is all lumped together als Medienbeiträge (well, perhaps not the voice mail). It can't be contributions, I assume, but what else?
Thank you for if possible speedy help (deadline looming!).

media resources
Explanation:
Teachers talk about 'resources' for their different lessons. You have provided a list of different media resources. This would encourage the teacher to make use of different media resources.

I hope this helps.

This is the best answer, I think, as it refers to the stage at which the "Beiträge" are still at, before we would perhaps call them tols or teaching material.
Thamnks to everyone for your ideas!

media clips


Explanation:
Miss Sophie has it all mapped out..

"Clips" would be appropriate since it can be applied to any type of programming and implies that a segment of limited length has been extracted for a specific purpose such as teaching a language class
