Learning a language through new media: an audio documentary

If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to learn a language using new media: podcasts, streaming video, iPod apps, etc., then you’ll want to listen to this documentary.


Avant-Garde: Learning a Language Through New Media is the end product of my year-long college thesis in the Creative Communications program at Red River College which was to do just that: learn French, using new media.


It’s been a wild ride that has opened my eyes into the big, wonderful world of e-learning, of which I’ve only just scratched the surface.


Whether you’re a technology guru or a casual Internet user, I encourage you to try it for yourself and experience how the face of education and language learning is evolving.



The full documentary is expected to air on 92.9 KICK FM in Winnipeg, and a portion of it on CBC Radio One in Manitoba in the upcoming weeks. I’ll update this post with the dates as soon as I know them.


If you’re interested in using my documentary or discussing my project, please leave a comment below and we’ll get in touch.

  2. Great audio documentary - I loved the little sound effects, too, like the cork popping out of the bottle of wine!
