English for Journalists
Introduction
The BBC College of Journalism is a training department of the BBC which provides
courses for journalists.
The courses help to ensure consistency, quality and accuracy in BBC broadcasting. One
of the key areas of training is in the use of language.

The language training helps non-native speakers of English who work as journalists
within the BBC develop their English language skills in the field of journalism.

On this page you can find links to three of the modules which have vocabulary
development activities.
Modules
These three modules are the first to be launched on the BBC Learning English website.
This is an exciting collaboration that allows the BBC World Service training team to
share the benefits of their experience in training BBC journalists with you.

Who on Earth are we?
Who on Earth are we? is a series about culture and how it affects us. It explores some of
the major differences between cultures and looks at what happens when people from
different cultures meet and communicate. The series is presented by Marc Beeby.

Part 12
Series review and intercultural advice: In the last programme of the series Marc Beeby
reviews the topics of the previous programmes and also presents a guide to turning
theories about culture into successful and beneficial inter-cultural practice.
Listen online

Part 11
Culture shock: Marc Beeby looks at clashes of culture and how we experience them
without even leaving home.
Listen online

Part 10
Barriers to inter-cultural communication: Marc Beeby discovers that it is our own
culture that usually causes the most difficulties when it comes to communication with
people from other cultures.

Part 9
Cultural dimensions: One of the first people to recognise the importance of the
distinction between individualist and collectivist cultures was the Dutch researcher
Geert Hofstede - the man responsible for one of the largest intercultural surveys that's
ever been conducted. It's Hofstede's work and its results that we hear about in this
programme.
Listen online
Download mp3 (4 MB)

Part 8
Individual and collective based cultures: In the last programme Marc Beeby began an
investigation into the differences between cultures where the individual is seen as
central individualist cultures and those where the group is the most important unit
collectivist cultures. In this programme he looks at more of these differences.
Listen online

Part 7
Individual and collective based cultures: If you're someone who likes privacy, your own
space, making your own decisions, you probably belong to a culture where the
individual is central. But if you like to have other people around you, and feel the need
to 'do the right thing', your culture is probably one where the group - or the 'collective' -
is the most important unit. Marc Beeby begins to examine this subject.
Listen online

Part 6
Culture and time and space: A less obvious way in which cultures differ is in their
attitudes to time and space. In the programme Marc Beeby looks at this subject and
learns about Indian Standard Time and how the idea of personal space is different
around the world.
Listen online

Part 5
Culture and non-verbal communication: People from different cultures not only speak
different languages, they also use non-verbal communication in different ways. When
people use non-verbal communication in a way that is different from what we're used to,
there can be problems. Join Marc Beeby as he looks at this feature of communication.
Listen online

Part 4
Culture and communication: Communication's done so naturally by all of us that we
take it for granted, and we don't think very much about what happens when we
communicate. We just think, 'well we're all human and we all communicate therefore
communication must be easy and it must be universal'. But in fact communication isn't a
simple process at all, as Marc Beeby finds out.
Listen online

Part 3
Language and culture: Marc Beeby looks at language as one of the building blocks of
culture and discovers that we don't all describe the world in the same way.
Listen online

Part 2
What is culture? In this programme Marc Beeby tries to answer this question and
discover just why culture is so difficult to define and talk about.
Listen online

Part 1
In this first episode of Who on Earth are we? Marc Beeby introduces the topic of culture
and inter-cultural communication. We hear some anecdotes relating to cross-cultural
surprises and discover that the more we learn about other cultures, the more we learn
about ourselves.
