A hybrid course bringing together videos and accompanying text from VOA and the worldwide web. An integrated skills course that balances the four skills effectively.

This video-based course is taken from Voice of America News on the English Central Channel. Each clip lasts from 1 to 3 minutes and has been specially selected to appeal to students’ interests. Each unit comes with various activities including Dialogue, Vocabulary, Listening, True/False, Comprehension, Sentence Completion, Summary, Pronunciation and Jazz Chants. There is also an online version, which will boost students’ ability to talk together. Using the material for self-study is another very useful application for raising students’ skill level.
