The Department of French and Italian, The Foreign Language Center, and OSU's student-run OSU Student Radio Station collaborate to provide undergraduate French and Italian students with the opportunity to broadcast native language programs on the air. Prof. Janice Aski (Italian) and Prof. Wynne Wong (French) supervise the students as they prepare for their first programs. The project is an Independent Study in each language. For more information please contact Rebecca Bias in the Foreign Language Center.
Many thanks to Adam Ross, Ohio.fm's General Manager, for his help with this important pilot project.
Please listen in for some interesting cultural information, great music, and fun practicing your listening skills in French and Italian!
