In this unit, pupils are going to tune in to four radio stations from different corners of the world: north, south, east and west. Listening to the radio on the Internet allows their ears to go on a journey. They'll find out about funny and tragic things that happened to people. They will also be able to work on their own stories based on what they have heard.
Pupils ...
- listen to and find out about different radio programmes
- write a letter to get back an object that they left behind in a hostel
