History

Magazines

"Studio Classroom" magazine began in 1962 as a single-page lesson sheet with an accompanying radio program. It was an immediate success. Soon the lessons sheets became magazines of several different levels. By 1981, there were just two magazines: "Studio Classroom", which contained Basic and Advanced levels, and "Let's Talk in English", a magazine designed specifically for learners wanting to improve their English conversation skills. The lively radio programs along with the interesting content of the magazines led Studio Classroom and "Let's Talk in English" to become Taiwan's most popular ways of learning English.

In 2001, "Advanced" split from Studio Classroom and became a separate magazine. The three magazines and their accompanying radio programs continue to provide listeners with quality English language education.
