Reviewing BBC Learning English

BBC Learning English is one of the vast and the well-organized English learning website present by BBC. The British Broadcasting Corporation also well known as BBC is a UK based Broadcasting Corporation. They provide quality English learning tool free of charge. There are tremendous reading and listening materials. The levels of materials are abundant from basic to advance level. Learners can acquire British English by experiencing different types of activities along with the sections listed on the left; business English, news English, Watch & Listen, Grammar & Vocabulary, etc. Topics are also various. Learners can select the program according to their learning style and goals. Let me introduce some brilliant programs.
1. The teacher
This is a movie program that teaches idioms, learners can study three idioms watching simple movies, practice using them and post them online. Online teacher gives homework for the learners for a certain period of time. For teacher’s sake, we can download the movie and script in pdf file version to use in the classroom. For advanced leveled learners, the teacher challenges them to pick their own idioms, make them scripts by themselves, and even create audio files.
2. Quizzes
Young learners tend to prefer games to other activities. For those who like soccer game, BBC provides simple quiz that helps improve vocabulary while answering the reading text. Throughout the activity, learners can improve reading skills and vocabulary. There are crosswords, golf game, and quiz game.
3. Learning Blog
BBC offers blogs for teacher and students. Learners from all over the world can communicate with each other. They succeed to assemble the most interactive learning environment. Learners posted their opinion, trivia, travel journal, or any topic that can think of. This blog gives an insight for organizing an educational blog for me along with Mrs. Siebert’s recommendation.

Korean government and some rich city office of education also try to develop free English website and improve public English Education system। Some website is so popular that the website is busy with traffic frequently। I think BBC learning English can be a good model for planners who want to design ESL/EFL learning website because it considers learners’ level, tastes, needs, and learning style
