UIC is always trying to be innovative, and a couple of weeks ago we were fortunate enough to win the ELTons – the British Council award for innovation in language teaching. This was given to us in recognition of the nerw course we had designed and built where students make radio programmes in English. It’s not only great fun but also really improves the spoken Enlgish of the stduents in a way that we have not seen before. Read the course description

      

“The Communication Station is an organised language learning experience, taught and run from UIC in London. As a part of their English courses with UIC, students take a class involving them making and then broadcasting a radio programme. Students are encouraged to take control over all aspects of the course from selection of topic and music through planning, interviewing, scripting, recording and to final edit. During classes, English skills are developed in a very real environment alongside other practical skills which require language (i.e. editing). The programmes are broadcast every 2 weeks on the school radio website (uiclondonradio.com)
