Teaching English Radio on RTCI

Last month the British Council Teaching series of English Radio programme reached many new listeners in Tunisa as the first programme was broadcasted on the 'The English Programme 'on the Tunisian radio station RCTI. Apart from the well-known presenter Hayet Toukabri there was a studio audience,which included local Tunisian teacher/trainers and teacher trainer,Kiros Langston and Project Manager,Christina Phelps from British Council Tunis.As the studio audience was gearing themselves up for the discussion,the song 'The Greatest Love of All ' was played 'the children are our future.. teach them well ' George Benson sang.

The theme of discussion on the English programme was 'lesson planning' which produced many thought provoking comments:
 'you fail to plan,you plan to fail', 'without planning you're heading nowhere'.Later I found out that Olfa,a teacher at British Council Tunis said she'd listened to the programme finding lots of useful advice and ideas,so the programme was even useful for experienced teachers as well as newly qualified ones.

Even,my taxi driver,even though he only speaks a few English words,had listened to the programme.

On the programme there was a call-in quiz with lots of exciting prizes to be won;although many of the callers weren't teachers,one of  the callers was a manager of a patisserie,who listens to the English programme every day,came up with the correct answer.The last caller to answer the final quiz question was a new listener and had decided to tune in after seeing the advert for the show.
Surprisingly none of the callers were able to name the countries that were mentioned in the programme.

Tune in on Friday the 17th February for the next programme of  Teaching English Radio and more chances to win some great prizes!

Hi!
This is the link to the story of "the boy who sees without eyes": it is an episode of the tv program "Extraordinary people" and I think it is really interesting. Maybe it's just me: when I graduated in college I did a thesis about the way in which differently abled people live in the world using other senses than the usual ones. In this perspective "differently abled" is really a very good definition of what these people are, and not just an attempt to find a politically correct name that doesn't imply some sort of inferiority or lack of capability. Hope you enjoy this video (I posted just the first part, you can find the whole episode on you tube).
