People have used imagination and invention to make the best use of Spotlight broadcasts.
One broadcaster (HCJB Global) has developed ‘Spotlight English Clubs’. The clubs provide a place where listeners can meet to use and improve their English. At a club meeting, people listen to a Spotlight program and then discuss it, in English.
The first clubs were in Ecuador, Latin America, but now the idea is spreading and the broadcaster has published the Club materials on a dedicated website.
The Spotlight Listeners’ Clubs are not run by the broadcaster. They are run in communities.
HCJB Global is a religious broadcaster, and the materials they have developed are especially suitable for use in clubs run by Christian churches.
Spotlight Listeners’ Clubs can be a great service in a non-English speaking community. The SLC programs and resources are free and being a club leader does not require ESL training or teaching experience.
Some of HCJB Global’s materials have been adapted for use among immigrant communities in the USA and the UK. If you are interested in these adapted materials please use the enquiry form for more information.
