Museum of Knowledge explores how students can learn English by reading newspapers. Reading newspapers is a brilliant way of embracing all aspects of British culture and American culture. The spectrum of British press in particular offers options as wide and as varied as ever. With a vast range of newspapers from traditional broadsheet newspapers to tabloid newspapers, each British newspaper enjoys its own individual style from sensationalist news from the tabloid press to more conservative writing styles from broadsheet press outlets.

They key thing to bear in mind when selecting newspapers in the United Kingdom is that the learner’s usage parameters are an important selection criteria. Of course for students who are taking an English examination, it makes sense to read a broadsheet newspaper that uses the words and phrases that are more formal and thus most likely to be of use in an examination setting. This factor alone together with the use of structure and tenses that students can also learn from will guide students who wish to learn English, perfect their reading skills that will in turn develop and enrich their vocabulary.

American newspapers including titles such as the Wall Street Journal offer insights into the economy, global markets and business trends around the world and can add a wide level of knowledge sharing opportunities for those who wish to learn English for business.
