My lower secondary-school English teacher never failed to use an opportunity to emphasize the value of newspapers and the radio in language teaching and learning. She characteristically concluded her lessons with the advice, "Read newspapers and listen to the radio. They will enrich your English." We did not do so because we did not have radio receivers in boarding school and had very little access to newspapers. In any case, we did not know what radio programs we were expected to listen to, nor what kinds of material to look for in the newspapers. But her advice became useful to me when I started teaching Linguistics, English and Communication Skills at a rural University with hardly any teaching and learning materials. Textbooks, if available, are never enough for the large number of students, and the use of modern language teaching facilities, painfully, remain a dream of the distant future. But the students have to learn, and to learn, they must be taught. But with what? I recalled my boarding school teacher's advice that newspapers and the radio "can enrich your language," so I turned to these resources for help.
