Word to World

If you watch Beijing Television Channel 8, you might see a program titled “Study Abroad”. On this show Professor Wang Qiang from New Oriental School hosts “From Word to World”.

He selects words with a deep cultural background and teaches useful phrases related to that word. Cartoons are also used to explain how to use the word in daily life. Listening to the radio may not be a new way to learn English but it is easy.
