How It Helps Your Business English

What this resource offers:

The catalogue lists the broadcaster's podcasts by category: news, society and culture, science, technology, history, arts, music, comedy, health, sports and programmes for families. Daily news shows sit beside documentary series and a regional programme for each province and major city. Each show carries a summary and its episodes, which play in the page.

How to use this resource:

You choose a show on a subject you already follow, so the Canadian names and events are familiar while you listen. Start with a daily news episode of about twenty minutes for current Canadian vocabulary, then move to a longer documentary series when you want to follow one speaker at length. Replaying an episode helps you catch what passed too quickly.
