BBC uses mobile phones to teach English in China

The BBC will work with China's internet company Sina.com to provide busy Chinese learners with a convenient way to learn spoken English whilst on the move. Mobile users will receive a daily text message on their mobile containing an English phrase together with the Chinese translation, reports Indian Television via MocoNews.

They can then log on to Sina.com to listen to and read the phrase as part of a longer dialogue, and to read explanations about the language.
