The Bardwell Road Centre Podcast

Presenters: Sebastian and Raed
Topic: Our countries

In this show, adult English language students in GO4 class talk about their countries. (GO4 is a pre-intermediate level general English course, at St Clare's, Oxford, UK.)

Sebastian chose the topic and - with the class teacher's help on grammatical accuracy - prepared interview questions. On the day, Sebastian and Raed introduced the show, interviewed their classmates, and chose the linking jingle from Garageband. Abdullah recorded a terriffic solo vocal performance of Arabic song, but decided not to let it be published on the Internet.

We hear interviews with:
Mingke (China)
Abdullah (Saudi Arabia)
Fahad (Saudi Arabia)
Vicki (Spain)
Hani (Saudi Arabia)

Interview questions:
(If you are listening in class, you could ask a partner the interview questions, then choose one or more of the speakers and note their answers.)

What is the worst problem in your country? Why you think that?
If you could, what things would you change about your country, and why?
Do you like the political leader (president) of your country? Why / why not?
What do you miss most about your country?
What is better in your country than England? Is anything better in England than in your country? What? Why?
In the future, do you want to live in England? Why / why not?

The show was recorded in class, on group teacher, Geoff's, Apple MacBook Pro computer with the program Garageband. The Garageband jingle used is "East Ender Short". After editing in Garageband, the audio volume was leveled using the program Levelator (www.gigavox.com/levelator), and converted to MP3 using LameBrain (check at www.macupdate.com). The photo was edited in Adobe Fireworks. This show was produced at the Bardwell Road Adult Centre, St Clare's, Oxford, UK.
