The
Flatmates |
| The BBC World Service
has launched its first online soap opera to help listeners learn
English. "The Flatmates", a drama about a group of multi-cultural young
people in Britain, launched on the net on August 1, 2005. Visitors to bbclearningenglish.com will be able to hear and read
a new episode every week, in a bid to teach the language "as it is
lived and spoken". Fans will also be able to decide what happens to the characters
through online votes. "The Flatmates" appeals to people who also want to learn English
as it is lived and spoken, rather than as it is sometimes taught in
more traditional text-books. It engages learners, enabling them to interact directly with the
characters and to help shape the everyday life storylines through an
online vote. The episodes will be accompanied by language lessons and quizzes
to aid learning. |
