About the Class

The Scott Mills Show on BBC Radio 1 (Mon-Fri, 4-7pm) is a gold mine for learners of English. Why? You can listen to his show online for free five nights a week, and you can download a free .mp3 podcast version of the show (without music) most days. Scott's show is packed full of English idioms, phrasal verbs, slang words, funny expressions, in-jokes, catchphrases, and wordplay, but it's not a lesson - the conversations and chats are real and flow naturally. So there is a lot here for students of English to find out! Plus the show is really funny. :o)

In this lesson we'll look at some of the language used in a recent show, e.g. idioms, phrasal verbs, etc. All welcome, but this lesson is aimed at intermediate-level students and above.

Language of instruction: English

Keywords: idioms, listening, speaking, english, efl, esl, learn, slang, scott mills, radio 1, bbc, free, lesson, skills, expressions, in-jokes
