A resource base for spoken and written English presentation and Clean English methods
used by education radio producers in the past and still essential today

  1. Language and media skills to enhance online small screen presence.
  2. Understanding how to ‘engage’ with an audience with high standard of  performance.
  3. Employ professional methods of hybrid online/offline engagement with students.
  4. How understanding spoken and written English is key to effective  student learning in all subject areas.
 
Acquire my skills learnt from a unique experience. I was a teacher then joined BBC Education for twenty years. Finally returning to the classroom. The lessons I learnt about engagement on radio – creating teaching material, professional performance in front of a class and online have been applied for a further 27 years. During Covid these ideas have proved invaluable. Anyone using the same trade craft with teachers, lecturers and my students will supercharge their career skills.
