This week Radio Lingua Schools has been working with 15-16 year old students from across Scotland at the S@S Accelerate programme, part of the Strathclyde University’s Innovative Routes to Learning project. The participating students signed up for a week of language-learning activities and over the past few days have taken part in challenges and debates, learned some Italian, Japanese and Zulu, and have created multilingual radio shows in French, German and Spanish.
The students have learned how to produce podcasts using GarageBand, recording their voices, applying filters and adding jingles and sound effects. They’ve had the opportunity to practise their language skills and increase their confidence in speaking. Their podcasts can be downloaded from the links below.

I loved the podcasting at Stratchclyde Uni, I thought it was really fun and a great way to practise speaking your language in a different way. I listened to all of them and they were all brilliant. I thought Tia Dolores was really funny!! I would recommed S@S to anyone because it is a great way to find out about your area of interest and meet like-minded people. I will miss eveyone on the course, it was so sad saying goodbye! I hope everyone does really well in everything they want to do, and once again I would recommend S@S because I thought it was brilliant!! =)
YAY. These are great podcasts
The week, people and the things that we learned were awesome…!
