Daily English - Award-Winning Service Updated And Improved
 15th August 2005
The Linguaphone Group announces the signing of the rights to two BBC news and current affairs programmes for Daily English, its award-winning premium online service for English language learners.

The radio programme will be BBC Radio's 'From Our Own Correspondent' featuring local stories and reports from BBC journalists around the globe. Both are prestigious, award-winning programmes.
Daily English provides an unrivalled selection of global quality media in one unique system. Delivered via the Internet, it expands the learner’s vocabulary and tests their knowledge via up-to-the-minute articles from newspapers, radio and TV programmes.
English newspapers:
The Guardian
The Daily Telegraph

Each article and programme is accompanied by article notes, exercises, vocabulary and grammar notes written by a team of qualified teachers, editors and language experts. Together with a brand new 28,000 word dictionary from top UK reference publishers A&C Black, Daily English is now the learning system of choice for English language customers around the world.
