LONDON: The BBC World Service will showcase its English Language Teaching (ELT) in Shanghai, China, on 1 and 2 March. The BBC will team up with Chinese media to discuss education in Britain at the 8th China International Higher Education Exhibition Tour (Spring 2003) with Education UK.

BBC Multimedia Education will exhibit the BBC World Service's ELT programmes and online ELT output. The exhibition will also feature Kathy Flower, the famous presenter of the BBC's popular 1980s ELT series Follow Me.

The BBC World Service will team up with China's leading website sina.com.cn to webcast Learning through Media seminar. The BBC will also stage radio phone-ins with Shanghai East Radio, talking about BBC World Service English language learning resources, learning tips and the ways to improve English through use of media.

Flower said: " On this visit to Shanghai, I'm looking forward to meeting Chinese students of English of all ages. "The original series of Follow Me is due to be shown again on CCTV later this year, so a new generation will have the chance to find out why their parents liked it so much - and maybe to learn something too!"
