What Makes Spotlight Programs Different?

Spotlight programs are made for people who are learning English. They are easier to understand. The programs use a method called 'Specialized English'.

Compared with 'normal' English broadcasting, Specialized English uses:

fewer words (our word list has 1500 words; we explain other words when we need them)
slower speed (about 90 words per minute, or half the normal speaking speed)
shorter sentences (mostly, one idea per sentence).
Specialized English is based on VoA’s Special English, but is not endorsed by VoA. Both use 1500 words, but Spotlight and VoA’s word lists are a little different.
