  • Loving the long talks on my long walks.

    I have been listening to this podcast for years now, and quite enjoy the long conversations with industry leaders giving other teachers insights into their field around the world. I remember walking to the castle in Alicante listening to Sheila Thorn talking about authentic listening, and walking around the cliffs in Sydney listening to John Healy discussing his experience starting My Speaking Score.. I could go on. Love it!

Why Launching a Business is Scarier Than Skydiving - Martina Monreal

The Assessment Trap: The Radical Assessment Shift That Actually Creates Fluency - Charline Rouffet
Q: What is communicative language teaching today and how can we move toward placing communication at the forefront of language education?
Charline outlines CLT as a principle centered on meaningful, authentic interaction and real-life language use.

The key is to embed communication in tasks, align goals with assessments, and allow room for student creativity and authentic output.
