VOA Learning English

📖 About

VOA Learning English is an international English-language educational and news service from the Voice of America (VOA), designed to help English learners around the world improve their listening, speaking, vocabulary, reading and comprehension skills. Based in Washington, D.C., VOA Learning English combines American English instruction with news, feature stories, educational reports, culture, science, technology, health, history and other topics of interest. The service uses a limited vocabulary and slower speech than standard VOA broadcasts to make its content easier for English learners to understand. VOA Learning English traces its history to Special English, a service launched by Voice of America in 1959, and expanded its educational programming before adopting the Learning English name in 2014. Its content serves beginning, intermediate and advanced English learners and includes programs such as Let's Learn English, Ask a Teacher, News Words, English in a Minute, English @ the Movies, Everyday Grammar, Learning English TV, American Stories, Words and Their Stories, America's Presidents, Science and Technology, Arts and Culture, U.S. History and VOA Learning English Podcast. The station is also associated with VOA radio programming and provides online audio streaming for listeners worldwide. VOA Learning English is particularly useful for students, teachers, international learners, English-language learners, ESL/EFL audiences and anyone who wants to practice American English through news and educational content. Its broadcasts and multimedia resources combine listening practice with written articles, transcripts, podcasts, videos and language-learning lessons, giving users multiple ways to develop their English skills. The service is operated by the Voice of America and forms part of the broader U.S. international broadcasting network. Its online programming can be accessed from computers, smartphones and other internet-connected devices, making VOA Learning English an international educational radio and multimedia resource rather than a traditional local AM or FM music station.
