Teaching English Radio on RTCI 'Teaching New Language'

This month the British Council's Teaching English Radio series again reached more new listeners in Tunisia as the third programme was broadcasted on the 'The English Programme 'on RCTI.
Apart from the well-known presenter Hayet Toukabri there was a studio audience,which included local Tunisian teachers/trainers and special guest Kiros Langston,Teacher Trainer at British Council Tunis.
This month's theme of discussion on the English programme was 'Teaching New Language' which produced interesting suggestions and a lively debate on inductive versus deductive learning.
The way that the teachers taught new items of language depended on the educational background of the teacher and the students they taught: the Primary teacher said she used realia,pictures and bright colours to get the students involved;whilst the other teachers in the studio audience liked using stories or songs and videos.Mohamed,one of the winners to the call-in quiz,said he used to be a teacher and that he preferred the communicative method of  teaching new language allowing the students to discover the language.
