It is our objective
to open up the CBC Radio Archives as a source of teaching resources. Over the
years, many educators who have heard radio programs that complement their classes
have approached us.
CBC Radio aims
to inspire learning more broadly and informally in topics such as science, nature,
history, social issues and citizenship, leisure activities and children's entertainment.
CBC Radio has over
60 years of radio archived material accessible to educators via licensing. There
is a wealth of educational programs and material available at CBC Radio.
Whether you are at ESL Teacher, grade school teacher or University Professor,
CBC Radio has useful resources for you, which will help further your teaching
ambitions.
If you're thinking
about using audio in a course, but don't know what's available in your course
area, by providing us with a reading list, a course description and some key
words, you can hire a CBC Researcher to send audio files that will supplement
your course material.
Please feel free
to download our latest Educational
Catalogue, as well as the Social
Studies catalogue. * Please note that this file is only a small portion
of the accessible content available. We can custom tailor to your specific needs.
Several CBC radio
programs on the cbc.ca website allow you to search past programs for subjects
or people that you may be looking for and allow you to stream selected programs
at your convenience. Here are the addresses for some of the programs that could
be useful in your classroom:
