'Spoof TV Show ' Filming in La Marsa

This morning I bumped into a TV crew interviewing the local residents of La Marsa on their use of modern technology for communicating with each other:
One man,in his mid-forties ,when asked how he communicated with his girlfriend he said he hadn't got one and he said he didn't use any of the social media to communicate so no Facebook,Skype or the latest craze of Instagram. Earlier on the TV screw had more success with a young couple; so is modern social devices mainly just the young Tunisians who are up to date with the modern world?
The interviewer was wearing a camera on his head as went from one unsuspecting 'interviewee' to the next one! Nadia Besrou ,the wardrobe and make-up artist, said the filming was going to be for a new Tunisian TV show to be broadcasted sometime next year.

Teaching English Radio

Hello welcome to this month's Teaching English Radio programme!

This month's topic is ‘Managing Different Levels ’.

Teachers agree that multi-level classes can present a real challenge. Some students learn English in other places and so are far more proficient than some of the others. Many teachers use this to their advantage and pair stronger students with weaker ones.This can increase the confidence of the stronger ones, who have a sense of responsibility, and help ‘pull the weaker ones up’.Teachers helping each other and pooling resources can provide creative solutions to challenges in multi-level classes.

Today's guests in the studio were:Mrs Raoudha Belhaj Primary Teacher Trainer,Tunis,Mrs Sabiha Inoubli, Inspector,Bizerte,Mrs Mélek Jlejla, Secondary school teacher and Jean Wilson,Vocational Training specialist.
