Adjust font size:

Citizens in Shanghai are expected to widen their English learning channels as some teaching programs are planned to be broadcast on the metropolis' buses.

 

World Link, published by US-based Thomson Learning, will be available on the buses in Shanghai this month, according to Shanghai Foreign Language Education Press (SFLEP) at the ongoing Shanghai Book Fair.

 

The program is jointly done by the SFLEP, the Oriental Pearl Mobile TV and Thomson Learning.

 

Passengers will follow the program to listen to and speak English.

 

According to the rough estimation of the Oriental Pearl Mobile TV, the program will have at least nine million audience every day.

 

"A realistic and interesting environment is very crucial for the English learning," said Zhuang Zhixiang, president of SFLEP.

 

He said he hopes the program will somewhat help enhance the English proficiency of Shanghai citizens.

 

World Link contains six levels for primary, intermediate and advanced learners. The course is also featured as a combination of language learning with fresh news and hot topics, vivid and interesting enough to attract audiences.
