We are in the 21st century. Computer and Internet are increasingly popular in classrooms. But in the certain part of the world, radio is still the king, particularly as it comes down to the language learning. BBC News reported the following scene spotted in a primary school at a backward village in India:
The students are looking inquisitively at a radio set perched on a plastic chair in the middle of the classroom in the capital, Patna.
They are all waiting for a new English lesson to begin – on the radio.
The lesson is called ‘English is Fun’ and teaches the basics of the language to primary school students.
“It is very easy to learn English on radio. Every day we wait for this class. Even if the teacher is not in the class we learn and enjoy the programme,” a student, Sakshi Kumari, said. (for the complete report, click here)
Learning is always fun, no matter through which medium.
